Chevrolet has announced plans to sell the Volt in Europe alongside the Opel / Vauxhall Ampera, that are basically rebadged versions of the Volt.

The Chevrolet Volt, will be offered for a price of €41,950 (including VAT) in Germany. European Chevrolet customers will have the same unprecedented standard eight-year/160,000 km warranty as U.S. customers on the Voltec powertrain and the advanced lithium-ion battery. It is the automotive industry’s longest, most comprehensive battery warranty for an electric vehicle.

“We believe Volt is the best solution on the planet today for worry-free electric driving”, says Wayne Brannon, President and Managing Director of Chevrolet Europe. “Our price in Europe is based on the U.S. Volt price adjusted for transportation cost, import duties, exchange rates and homologation.”

The Volt can drive between 40 and 80 km electrically with a small fuel-powered generator that sustains the battery charge to extend the range to about 600 km in total. 0-100 km/h comes in 9 seconds and the top speed is 161 km/h. To charge the battery all you need is a normal household 230-Volt power outlet. The charging will take between three to four hours.

Chevrolet plans to produce 10,000 Volts by the end of the 2011 calendar year, and an additional 45,000 Volts during the 2012 calendar year.
