The Holden Volt was the Chevrolet Volt rebadged for Australia and New Zealand; in Europe the same car was the Opel Ampera. It was a range-extended electric hatchback. An electric motor drove the front wheels, and a 1.4-litre petrol engine ran a generator once the battery was depleted. It cost A$59,990 plus on-road costs at launch and was sold through 49 Holden dealers. About 246 had been sold in Australia by April 2015, and 16 had been registered in New Zealand. Holden said the second-generation Volt would not be sold in Australia because it was left-hand drive only.
