Chevrolet To Build Pure Electric Sonic? http://www.worldcarfans.com/114072378653/opel-ceo-confirms-a-new-electric-vehicle-following-ampera Opel CEO confirms a new electric vehicle following Ampera axing By Michael Gauthier [2014/07/23] [image] Opel Ampera 12.11.2010 Could be based on GM's 200 mile EV Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann has released a series of tweets confirming the company's commit to "eMobility" following news that the Ampera will be axed. In three successive tweets, Neumann confirmed the company will offer a new electric vehicle as part of their plan to launch 27 new models by 2018. The executive went on to say "After the eventual run-out of the current generation Ampera, we'll introduce a successor product in the electric vehicle segment." His latter comment seems to suggest the successor will be a pure electric vehicle instead of a range-extended model like the Ampera. This could imply the company is going to offer a version of GM's upcoming electric vehicle which will have a range in excess of 200 miles (321 km). The model is slated to be launched in 2016 and cost around $30,000 (€22,269).

It has been said that a pure electric Chevrolet Sonic will be sold right here in the United States. The proposed Sonic EV will allegedly run off of the new LG Chem battery (the same company that supplies the Volt) due to arrive in 2016. The Sonic EV is expected to have a range of 200 miles. Compare that with the Spark EV, which has a range of just 82 miles. General Motors will be able to gain regulatory credits if it builds the pure EV in America, leading many to believe that its birthplace will be Michigan. The Spark EV, in contrast, is ineligible because it is built in South Korea.

But given that the company already, you know, supplies the Volt’s battery, it’s not much of a stretch of the imagination to assume that Chevy is this unnamed automaker. Then, The Truth About Cars came out shortly after with an exclusive report that Chevy will be adding to its lineup a Sonic EV, capable of 200 electric miles (sound familiar?). The Sonic EV will likely hit the scene in 2016 and will be built in Michigan, which will earn Chevy its regulatory credits doled out for selling a pure EV made in the U.S. (The Chevy Spark EV is built in Korea—and gets a range of 82 miles—and thus does not meet the requirements.) The Chevy Spark EV gets a range of 82 miles, while the Sonic EV is projected at 200. A Sonic EV capable of 200 miles is absolutely mind-blowing, but it isn’t entirely unexpected. General Motors has gone on record saying that it plans to compete with Tesla when the automaker unleashes its entry-level Model X with a 200-mile range. It is likely, then, that the Sonic EV will be Tesla’s newest competitor, both in performance and price, and just as likely that the Sonic EV is the secret car that LG Chem alluded to recently. Let’s just hope that the Sonic EV will be available in more than California and Oregon. Currently, the Spark EV is only available in those two states.
