It makes me sad that Vauxhall have said the Ampera will not come with the OnStar App (due to Onstar only providing US coverage) or any equivalent App... I would really like an app to set charge times monitor charge state/fuel and set sat-nav destinations from my mobile devices. Something similar to the Nissan Carwings app would be ideal.
I understand that OnStar includes emergency assistance, navigation assistance and handsfree calling, in the US.. and as such has a monthly subscription which covers all of the mobile connection costs (via the mobile phone networks, which are cheaper in the US). And that this would be a large setup cost for Vauxhall for what would be just one vehicle.. In my opinion it would be un-necessary as all I would like is enough connectivity for the app (wifi range?) not the additional services.
