Opel’s Rocks-e electric vehicle is adorably strange

Opel’s European automotive manufacturer has revealed a fully new electric car aimed at people living in urban areas that need very small and compact cars that do not produce emissions called Rocks-e. This car is mainly positioned for urban young drivers because, with this vehicle, children aged 15 years and higher can drive with the SIM class driving. The small two-seat electric vehicle promises driving distance up to 75 kilometers using the WLTP test methodology.

Rocks-e is an entry-level electric vehicle that is seen as an alternative to scooters that leave motorists and passengers in elements. This vehicle is 2.41 meters long and is the smallest EV in the Opel range sitting under Corsa-e. While prices without notice, Opel claims that the MSRP will be less than users will pay for a typical small car, and monthly rent payments will be cheaper than monthly tickets for public transportation.

Customers will be able to order Rocks-e online or at the Opel Select dealer starting this fall in Germany. Car makers do plans to expand the availability of vehicles to additional market next year. Unique vehicles are very small at length of 2.41 meters, width 1.39 meters (not counting mirror), and weighs 471 kilograms, including batteries.

Regulation in Germany classifies it as a mild motorized vehicle. This can push 75 kilometers at a full cost at a top speed of 45 km / hr. This is specifically designed for urban mobility in areas where top speed will not hamper traffic or proven to be dangerous for the driver. This vehicle is also very maneuvered with its small dimensions, making a complete circle in just 7.2 meters of space. The battery is a 5.5 kWh unit and can refill completely in 3.5 hours using standard household outlets. The adapter is available to allow vehicles to charge from public filling stations.
