[Ovmsdev] Volt/Ampera CAN Logs

[Mark Webb-Johnson]

Ok, Now I'm confused.

From the vauxhall.co.uk site (linking to mmg.opel.de), this is what the Ampera looks like:



But from chevrolet.com, I get the Volt image:



For me, the big difference is the front "X" appearance on the Ampera vs the Volt "V".

Michael's picture looks more like the Volt than the Ampera. V not X:


(excuse the flagrant horizontal flip)

Are these Volts or Amperas in Germany? Is the German Ampera different than the UK Ampera? Wikipedia says "The European version of there Volt, the Open Ampera (known as Vauxhall Ampera in the United Kingdom). The main differences between the Volt and Ampera are in their styling. Opel reported that most of the Ampera clients ... top markets ... Belelux, Germany and the United Kingdom". Does only the UK get the new "X" styling, or is it all Amperas? Confused I am.

Is it easier to just load up both styles? But what do I call them?

Regards, Mark.

P.S. I found a pretty cool looking top-down picture, to match the Tesla body view styling we have:
