Why Charters loves the Vauxhall Ampera The new Vauxhall Ampera rewrites the rulebook with regards to electrically powered motoring. This four seater family hatchback has practicality, comfort, futuristic style and above all technological advancement. The first E-REV vehicle in the UK, the Ampera runs on electric power only for the first 50 miles and then the 1.4 engine seamlessly starts; charging the batteries on the fly; giving you a total possible range of 350 miles. Vauxhall have shown that electric vehicles can be spacious, powerful and remove the anxiety of running out of charge. |

Charters' favourite feature of the Vauxhall Ampera
The 1.4 engine of the Vauxhall Ampera makes this incredible car become more than just a hybrid. The electric motor ALWAYS powers the wheels, which means you'll get excellent torque, providing a 0-60 seconds at just under 9 seconds. The internal combustion engine is there to do one thing only: charge the batteries whilst you are driving. Added to this is the Ampera's regenerative braking which turns your stopping power into added charge. This means that the Vauxhall Ampera is certainly the most viable solution for business users across the country; especially when you consider the fuel savings alone. If you also consider that the Vauxhall Ampera's purchase price is reduced due to the £5,000 government eco grant initiative, this innovative car never fails to impress. |

Caring for the environment The Vauxhall Ampera is capable of a fuel economy of 235.4 miles per gallon** using a maximum of 27 g/km CO2. Because of this, the Ampera has an exemption on congestion charging and free road tax; saving you even more. When you consider that a similarly sized Astra would use five times the emissions, this figure becomes even more impressive. Vauxhall also offer free and easily accessible, environmentally friendly, end-of-life vehicle disposal through their partners Autogreen Ltd.
