Calling their new full-electric the Bolt after they already had the Volt was the dumbest product naming marketing fowlup since the Wii-U.
This does not bode well for the Ampera-e, because PSA has a penchant for crises.
PSA took on Chrysler many decades ago and after a while the factory that was making Chrysler cars was making the Peugeot 309 which was a roaring trade success in the UK and other markets. Eventually the factory closed after the 309 had had its run. So you can expect the same, a new family crossover will come out in Peugeot branding from the Astra factory, this will sell for a few years, have a facelift and sell on for a few more years. Then they will close the factory. It is inevitable.
Of course Peugeot will sell EVs, however, for small cars it is not hard to buy a few motors and batteries from Bosch and to stick them in a car. So they will be joining the market when all the suppliers have the off the shelf parts all worked out for them.
Now they've stopped taking new orders for Ampera-E (as of last week).
I might have to cancel and get the Hyundai Kona instead if this continues..
Anyway I'm sorry to hear that. They really should have given you at least a reply - especially that so much time has passed.
I sure hope they won't try to make the Kona drive "like a normal car". I test drove the IONIQ hybrid and it seems that some genius thought it would be great if you hadn't had instant torque, as opposed to hybrids from Toyota.
I drive a Leaf and this makes me an un-elected ambassador for EV's in general. When I'm at a charger people will randomly drive up and get out of their car and ask questions about EV's, charging, range, etc. I'm always happy to talk to to folks about my experience with an EV and in my experience there is quite obvious consumer confusion about the Bolt and Volt.
