1971 OPEL GT ELEKTRO

A rush of electrified models wearing the Opel lightning flash have burst onto the scene in recent months. But the company has both a longer and more varied electric vehicle heritage that many would give it credit for.

Opel’s first electrified model debuted in 1968. The Kadett B Stir-Lec I study was powered by a range-extending powertrain (the concept was revisited later with the short-lived 2011-2015 Opel/Ampera). Fourteen lead-acid batteries were charged via its rear-mounted Stirling combustion engine, and the batteries then powered a small AC electric motor which drove the rear wheels. Top speed was 55mph.
