Vauxhall released official pricing details for the 2014 Ampera EV in the UK. The good news is that the company reduced the starting price of the model by £3,500 to £28,750.

The Vauxhall Ampera, the British counterpart of the Chevrolet Volt, is powered by an electric motor offering a driving range of 80 kilometers thanks to a 16 kWh lithium-ion battery.

However, Vauxhall offers a 1.4-liter gasoline unit which acts like a range-extender for a total driving range of about 500 kilometers.
