Hello fellow PIPers. Has anyone tried to get any details on the optional charge port lock available in Japan? The image posted a while ago is not available anymore and I could not find any further details like part number or price.
here's the image 01-p01.jpg to find it, go to http://toyota.jp/service/option/dc/webitem?car_code=priusphv-b_00002&kind_cd=01 click the fourth "tab" at the top (the one that's in gray) should be right there at the top it also comes as part of the PHV accessory package: http://toyota.jp/priusphv/dop/package/index3.html the description, in Japanese, reads 充電時にキーロックをすることで、純正充電ケーブルの持ち去り等のいたずらを防止します。ヴィークルパワーコネクター（メーカーオプション）にも対応しています。 14,700円（消費税抜き14,000円） ＊充電ケーブルロック専用メカニカルキーは2本セットです。 ＊車両付属メカニカルキーとは異なります。 ＊純正充電ケーブル専用です。 ＊充電リッドオープナーと充電ケーブルロックを同時装着する場合は、充電リッドオープナーを先に取り付けてください。 Cheers
The english translation courtesy of google is By a key lock at the time of charging, we prevent such mischief charge cable Mochisari genuine. Vehicle power connector module supports also (manufacturer option). 14,700 yen (14,000 yen excluding consumption tax) * 2 This is a set dedicated mechanical key lock charging cable. * Different from the mechanical key vehicle accessories. * Only genuine charging cable. * If you are installing a cable lock simultaneous charging and charging lid opener, please attach the lid opener before charging.
Thanks, looks like this solution won't work with third party cables. I want to secure a Type-1 to Type-2 cable. Most public charging stations in Germany have a Type-2 socket and my charging cable does not have the option to secure it with a lock.
