Opel Ampera-e (Norway)
Pricing for the Opel Ampera-e in the Norwegian
market will be starting around US$ 33,650, making the model very competitive as regards
price-to-range ratio.
This starting price includes a heated leather
steering wheel, 17-inch alloy wheels, Bi-Xenon headlights, and IntelliLink
infotainment, amongst other things. Those wanting leather seats, heated rear
seats, and a Bose sound system will have to drop a further US$ 2,000.
Those wanting the driver assistance package — rear
view camera, lane departure warning, sign recognition, parallel parking, etc. —
can attain that for another US$ 1,500.
With its 60 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery pack, the
Ampera-E (which is a rebadged Chevy Bolt EV) could prove to be quite a good
seller in Norway, if enough stock is provided. Notably, the Norwegian news
outlet VG is claiming that the country is likely to be allocated 2,000 to 2,500
vehicles, and that demand will likely exceed supply.
It’ll be interesting to see if supply constraints
hold true for the long term, or if production will be ramped up enough to
matter. In other words, to see if GM/Opel actually wants to sell the car in
large numbers.
