Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1982 Grand Prix.
The 1982 Pontiac Grand Prix Electric is the electric‑propulsion iteration of Pontiac’s Grand Prix line, sharing the model’s traditional sedan silhouette while replacing the conventional powerplant with an electric drivetrain. Although detailed power figures are not provided, the vehicle’s place in the broader Grand Prix chronology can be gauged by its complaint record, which spans 1990‑2008 and peaks in 1997 with 859 reported issues before falling to a low of 102 complaints in 1996. Because the 1982 electric version predates this documented window, it occupies an early, less‑tracked segment of the model’s reliability history, suggesting that its long‑term durability is less quantified than the later years that show the extremes of consumer feedback.
