The Opel Ampera, produced from 2010 to 2015, was a revolutionary electric vehicle that aimed to bridge the gap between gasoline-powered cars and pure electrics. It featured a unique extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) system, combining a 16 kWh lithium-ion battery pack with a small 1.4-liter gasoline engine that acted as a generator to extend the car's range. This innovative approach offered the convenience of electric driving for daily commutes, while eliminating range anxiety by providing an additional 500 kilometers of range with the gasoline engine. The Ampera's electric motor produced a maximum power output of 150 hp and 370 Nm of torque, delivering smooth and responsive acceleration. Its compact design, reminiscent of a hatchback, provided ample interior space for four passengers and offered a comfortable and well-equipped cabin.

Beyond its groundbreaking technology, the Opel Ampera was praised for its sleek and modern styling. Featuring distinctive front and rear lighting, a sculpted body, and a panoramic sunroof, the Ampera exuded a premium feel. The car was also well-received for its advanced driver assistance features, including a rearview camera, parking sensors, and electronic stability control. However, the complex EREV system and its unique powertrain made the Ampera a challenging car to maintain and repair. This led to the development of the Opel Ampera 2010-2015 Workshop Service Repair Manual, a comprehensive resource for technicians and mechanics. This manual contains detailed information on every aspect of the Ampera, from engine specifications and electrical diagrams to troubleshooting procedures and repair instructions. It serves as a vital tool for ensuring efficient and effective maintenance and repairs on this innovative electric vehicle.
