To improve the charging experience, your vehicle has the following convenience
features:
Description
Feature
Your vehicle schedules its charging time for when the utility rates
are lowest. Contact your utility company to see what rates are
available.
Value Charge
Your vehicle starts charging immediately after you connect the
charging plug.
Charge Now
Get the most miles out of every charge by conditioning your
plugged in vehicle. Set the cabin temperature when you set your
GO Time in order to use energy from your home, or charging
station, instead of your vehicle battery.
Cabin Conditioning
Setting GO Times allows you to control charging schedules and
cabin conditioning settings so your vehicle is ready to drive when
you are. By setting a GO Time, your vehicle can use your value
charge settings to minimize your electricity costs but still prioritize
getting a full charge before your GO Time. A calendar view allows
you to program two GO Times per day for each day of the week.
My GO Times
Note: Remember, you must plug in your vehicle for My GO Time
to work.
Note: Charging to 100% by your next GO
Time will always be the priority. When Value
Charge is selected, charging outside of
off-peak times may be necessary in order
to be fully charged by your GO Time. Charge Settings Screen
Each of the four areas highlighted below
show a different feature of the charge
settings screen.

To eliminate the conflict notification
immediately or to prevent a conflict in the
future, try the following:
•
Switch the present GO Time to occur
later. •
Plug the vehicle into a 240V high
current charging station instead of
using the 120V low current convenience
cord. Higher power charging yields
shorter charge times.
• Plug the vehicle in sooner.
