It’s getting hard understanding Chevrolet Volt’s pricing policy! Then in Europe it is priced at 41,950 Euro. And then there’s the Opel Ampera, the European version of the Volt which is priced at 42,900 Euro!
It is the automotive industry’s longest, most comprehensive battery warranty for an electric vehicle.
The announcement was made right on the floor of the Geneva Auto Show, where the Opel is displaying the Ampera, by Wayne Brannon, Chevrolet Europe president.
"We believe Volt is the best solution on the planet today for worry-free electric driving", says Wayne Brannon, president and managing director of Chevrolet Europe. "Our price in Europe is based on the U.S. Volt price adjusted for transportation cost, import duties, exchange rates and homologation."
According to General Motors the "Chevy Volt" can travel 25 to 50 miles (40 to 80 km) on a 16 kW•h lithium-ion battery. EPA rated the Volt’s combined city/highway fuel economy at 93 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent in all-electric mode, and at 37 mpg-US (6.4 L/100 km; 44 mpg-imp) in gasoline-only mode, for an overall fuel economy rating of 60 mpg-US (3.9 L/100 km; 72 mpg-imp) combined.
