Chevrolet 2013 VOLT User Manual download pdf (Page 6)

CHARGING YOUR VOLT

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

standard. Plug it into a conventional 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 four hours.

HOW VOLT CAPTURES ENERGY

Volt never lets 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.

OPTIMIZE CHARGING

WITH YOUR SMARTPHONE

Use the OnStar RemoteLink

TM2

mobile app to view the

battery’s charge level. Plus, you can program a charging

schedule to take advantage of times when electricity rates

are lowest. Lower rates are usually available at night and

at other off-peak times. Consult your electricity provider

to ﬁnd the off-peak times for your area.

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.
