Ownership summary

Verdict:

Opel Ampera-e 2017 fits the role of a FWD electric hatchback for daily driving, home charging and family use, with range and charging as the core ownership questions. The range story is the difference between 423 km official, about 329 km in mixed use and about 263 km in cold highway driving.

In daily use, home charging takes about 8 h 54 min from 0-100%; on trips, the 10-80% DC estimate is about 1 h 2 min (est.), so highway use needs more patience. The practical side is documented with 5 seats and 381-1274 L cargo. The main caveat is that real-world planning should use the BEVDB mixed estimate rather than the official WLTP figure. Range confidence is high, while specs completeness is partial.

Real Range

Highway - Mild Weather	327 km
Highway - Cold Weather	263 km

Estimates of actual range. The values given here are BEVDB estimates calculated from WLTP data and usable battery capacity, based on the BEVDB model. The BEVDB real-range card uses four fixed reference scenarios: City (Mild), Highway (Mild), City (Cold), and Highway (Cold). Mild means +20°C (70°F) without intensive climate-control use; cold means -10°C (14°F) with cabin heating. City speed is 50 km/h (30 mph), and highway speed is 110 km/h (70 mph). These figures are not official test results. Actual range will vary depending on speed, temperature, road conditions, road profile, load, tires, and driving style.

Estimated charging times are based on usable battery capacity, charging power and vehicle charging limits. Peak DC power is usually reached only briefly; average 10–80% power is more useful for estimating real charging time. Actual charging speed can vary by charger output, battery temperature, state of charge, weather, software and battery condition.

Energy Consumption

BEVDB model

Combined real range (estimate)	329 km
Combined Energy Use (estimate)	17.5 kWh/100 km

BEVDB estimates use WLTP-rated (or derived; falls back to NEDC when WLTP is missing) consumption and usable battery capacity to model city/highway ranges; the combined value is a weighted mix of city/highway and mild/cold scenarios. See the methodology and data sources for inputs, official source boundaries, fallback rules, and versioning.
