110V AC Power Inverter Option Missing on 2020 Plug-in Hybrid?

I just picked up a 2020 Niro plug-in hybrid premium and noticed that the center console is significantly changed from my 2018 Niro plug-in hybrid premium. My 2018 came with the 110 V AC inverter and a USB in the armrest storage compartment. From what I can tell, it doesn’t appear that the 110 V AC inverter was an option on the 2020 model years. I’m looking to confirm, because I’m hatching a plan to swap the center consoles between my 2018 and my 2020 before I sell the older vehicle. If the pigtails for the accessory are not available in the 2020 model year, it would be pointless to take apart the console.

@Mikek7 , interesting that you had it i stalled. Muse be a feature still available in the Canadian market.

I took apart the consols of both the 2018 and 2020 to see if I could simply swap, but the harness in the dashboard is missing the leads for the 110v inverter, so no can do withput a lot of additional work. Fortunately the battery compartment is easily accessible in the cargo area so I will just wire up a higher power inverter directly to the battery.
