Prices are out in Norway for the European Bolt-sibling Opel Ampera-e: http://pushevs.com/2016/12/14/opel-ampera-e-price-revealed-norway/ Starts at NOK 299 900 (~USD 35 071) and there is two optional "packs" with equipment. One is the "Comfort Pack" with leather seats, Bose sound system, 17"-...

A 2011 C-Zero should have the 16kWh battery pack. The 14.4kWh battery came around mid-2012. However, if your battery pack has been replaced in recent years, you will actually get the 14.4kWh pack even if your car came with the 16kWh pack accordingly to the Citroen part catalog.

Yes and no... The French clones are indeed missing those two extra gears from the factory. Some owners have been able to enable them by modifying the trim around the gear lever, but appearantly not all of the French clones have the possibility to enable them. It works on early cars, but not on...

Norwegian Opel-dealers have started taking reservations for the European Bolt-sibling Ampera-e now. Exact pricing is not clear yet, but they are talking of 300-350 000NOK, roughly 36-42 000USD. One Opel-dealer is reported to have 300 reservations, which is not bad at all. The big question is...

I believe there is a control unit of some sort inside the car too in order to communicate with the remote. The French clones are appearantly missing this unit.

Interesting that your car is that early. It is possible that these early 2012 iMievs here in Norway is actually 2011-models, most likely unsold cars from other European countries. iMiev was the first car which really started the EV-craze here in Norway and the Mitsubishi-dealers could sell...

No, the European iMievs got the remote too. At least here in Norway they got it, but I guess the other European countries did too. The French clones did not get the remote however, it was appearantly a Mitsubishi-only thing. It should be noted that I have seen MY2012s both with and without the...

The 80 cell-pack came mid-2012, so this car could be of either type.

jsantala, you might want to check out this link of upgrading iOn/C-Zero to also have B- and C-mode: http://www.automobile-propre.com/forums/citroen-c-zero-peugeot-ion-mitsubishi-imiev/upgrade-boite-de-vitesse-sur-ion-et-c-zero-t1142.html It is in French so you might want to use Google Translate...

European iMievs came with the remote from MY2012, the 2011s don't have it. Also, iMiev's French siblings (Peugeot iOn and Citroen C-Zero) does not have this feature.

The early ones had 16A cables, but was later changed to 10A. However, I see that there has been another change and at least new iOn and C-Zero is delivered with a cable which is adjustable between 8A and 14A. To get 14A you need a special wall socket and the cable will set to 14A automatically...

Are you sure there isn't a 5 years/100 000 km warranty on the batteries? As I have understood it, the 3 years/50 000 km warranty is drivetrain only and the battery have a 5 year warranty instead. Citroen in Norway give 5 year warranty on everything on the car, so I am not sure what the factory...

Don't know if this feature with brake lights coming on when regenerating is added on US-sold i-Mievs, but here in Europe i-Miev-clones Peugeot iOn and Citroen C-Zero has received this feature from MY2015. I haven't checked for Euro-spec i-Miev, but guess it is the same.
