Introduction:
The Ampera is a plug-in electric car that you can simply plug into the mains in your house or garage using a normal plug. That charges it in 4 hours, giving you a 40 mile electric range. As soon as the battery is down to 20% charge, the Atkinson cycle petrol engine cuts in, alone generating the electrical power to turn the car's electric motors, but keeping ther battery at a 20% charge level, and theoretically giving it an indefinite range removing the worry owners of electric cars have of finding themselves stranded. Far cheaper to charge the battery from the mains atoff peak rates than to charge from the power generated by the engine.
