The NZ new car has a 10 amp plug charging lead. There is no 32 amp option nor the CHAdeMO option which most other countries have fitted. So the flap on the electric port is huge, but covers only the little 10 amp point.. There is a blanking plate screwed where the CHAdeMO would normally be.
First question: Could I plug a J1772 32 amp cable directly into the four pin connector? Or does this require something special? There are charging leads that follow this spec in new Zealand e.g. http://www.trademe.co.nz/building-renovation/electrical-lighting/other/auction-954490973.htm
Second question : Is the CHAdeMO hardware hidden behind the blanking plate and could it be retrofitted? There are plans to roll-out CHAdeMO charging stations all across New Zealand.
Why would Mitsubishi not include this?
