So Professor, will your parts guy be able to dip into the Opel catalog when that becomes available. That Opel Ampera e grill is looking pretty good...
Don't know, probably not. The upper grill? Looks less interesting than the Bolt to my eye, which has more of a solid, clean look with style. I wonder why they thought "Ah, this will appeal more to Europeans". The Bolt overall has cleaner lines IMO, the added details on the Ampera make it too busy.
Looks like it has extra ultra-sonic sensors along the body, and did I see native mapping in the video?
Speaking of which, watching the Ampera-e
Does it really? I was not aware the type 1 featured a locking mechanism. For my Outlander PHEV I use a padlock to lock the unlocking knob on the connector.
The manual said something about locking, like
"When the vehicle no longer needs to use power from the charging station, it will stop charging and the DC vehicle plug will be
unlocked from the DC charge port." pg 235. I assumed the mechanism at the top of the charge port has locking capability.
