Unlike conventional hybrids, which can be best described as combustion-engined cars backed up by electric assistance, the Vauxhall Ampera is primarily powered by electric motors but has a four-cylinder combustion engine and generator to keep the car running when the batteries are exhausted.
The Ampera’s primary power source is a 148bhp AC synchronous electric friction motor, which draws electricity from a liquid-heated and cooled 16kWh lithium ion battery via a DC to AC current inverter.
The battery takes six hours to charge from a 13A domestic socket and is managed by an electronic power control module that taps into just 65 per cent of its total capacity in order to maximise operational life. However, that 65 per cent capacity is enough to give the Ampera an all-electric range of between 25 and 50 miles depending on temperature and usage
