THE CHARGE

HOW TO CHARGE VOLT

You just plug it in. A 120V portable charging unit comes standard. Plug it into

an electrical outlet

and fully charge the battery in 10–16 hours, depending

on charging level and outside temperature. The available professionally

installed 240V charging station speeds up charging time to about 4 hours.

HOW VOLT CAPTURES ENERGY

This car would never let perfectly good energy go to waste. Under normal

driving conditions, when you use the brakes or even just coast off-throttle,

a process called regenerative braking helps some of the recaptured energy

be converted into electricity and stored in the battery.

HOW YOUR SMARTPHONE HELPS YOU CHARGE

Use the OnStar RemoteLink

mobile app to view the battery’s charge level.

Plus, you can program a charging schedule based on times of day when

electricity rates are lowest. According to the U.S. Department of Energy,

lower rates are usually from around 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Some utility companies

offer lower electricity rates for vehicles charging during off-peak periods.

1 Using the portable 120V charge cord will take approximately 16 hours at the 8-amp default setting, and can be reduced to 10 hours at the 12-amp setting. 2 Available on select iPhone, Android and BlackBerry devices. Services vary by phone, vehicle

and conditions. Requires active OnStar subscription, which is standard for the first three years.

3 To take advantage of a reduced off-peak rate plan, you must sign up through your utility company. Not all utilities offer off-peak rate plans at this time.
