Opel will offer an electrified version of each model by 2024 before going purely electric in Europe by 2028. It already has a dozen of electrified versions on sale today, but many more are coming in the following years. The German brand part of the Stellantis automotive conglomerate confirmed this week to make the Crossland and Insignia successors EVs, with no word about selling them alongside combustion-engined versions.<\/p>\n
The two zero-emission vehicles will be joined by the return of the Manta in 2025<\/a>. However, the classic nameplate will be repurposed for a swoopy SUV rather than a rear-wheel-drive sports coupe its two ancestors were in the ’70s and ’80s. Before that happens, Opel plans to introduce the Astra-e in 2023 as a five-door hatchback and a more practical wagon (Sports Tourer). The compact duo will join the already available PHEV versions of the all-new Astra.<\/p>\n In the long run, Opel hopes to roll out EVs capable of covering from 500 to 800 kilometers (311 to 497 miles) on a single charge. The ultimate goal is to drastically cut charging times by allowing owners to replenish the battery to offer 20 miles (32 kilometers) of range in just one minute. Speaking of batteries, a Giga Factory in Kaiserslautern will be operational by 2025 as part of a joint venture called Automotive Cells Company with Total\/Saft, Stellantis, and Mercedes-Benz<\/a>. ACC\u2019s industrial capacity will have 32 GWh.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
