CHARGING
BATTERY
The Volt is powered by a lithium-ion high voltage battery pack, which ho\
lds its charge efficiently and has no memory effect (so it doesn’t have to be run\
down completely before recharging). Keep the vehicle plugged in, even when fully charge\
d, to keep the battery temperature ready for the next drive.
CHARGING TIME
Using a 120 volt standard outlet will take approximately 13 hours to cha\
rge the Volt at the 12 amp settings, or 19 hours at the 8 amp default setting. Using a 240 v\
olt charging unit with the 7.2kW on-board charge moduleF will take approximately 2.3 hours to charge. Using a 240 volt charging unit with the 3.6kW on-board charge module wil\
l take approxi-mately 4.5 hours to charge. Charge times will vary with outside temperat\
ure.
PROGRAMMABLE CHARGING
The Volt can be programmed for 3 charging modes: Immediately upon plug-i\
n; Delayed based on departure time; and Delayed (Electric Rate and Departure Time)\
.
Touch the Energy icon on the infotainment screen and then touch the Charging tab to view the current Charge Mode and Charge Limit.
Touch the Charging Options screen button to select a different charge li\
mit or charge mode.
CHARGING STATUS
The Charging Status indicators are located on the instrument panel near \
the windshield and on the illuminated charge port (if available).

1 flash: 0–25% charged
2 flashes: 25–50% charged
3 flashes: 50–75% charged
4 flashes: 75–99% charged
Solid light: 100% charged
Slow (long pulse) flashing green indicator with double tone – Vehicle is plugged in;
battery charging is delayed
Solid green indicator – Vehicle is plugged in; battery is fully charged
Solid yellow indicator – Vehicle is plugged in; not charging
No light – Vehicle is not plugged in, OR there is an issue with the charger or\
outlet

e use if the electrical outlet/plug is hot and have the electrical outlet serviced by\
a qualified electrician.

alert is armed
automatically after 30 seconds.
Note: When the theft alert is armed, the alarm will sound when the plug is disconnected from the vehicle. To change charge cord theft alert options, go to Settings > Vehicle > Energy.
To temporarily override a delayed charge event, remove and reconnect the\
charge cord to the vehicle within 5 seconds. It will begin charging immediately\
.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.

module, charging equipment with a rating of at least 240 volts/16 amps will provide the fastest charging time to recharge the propulsion battery.
When equipped with the optional 7.2kW on-board charge moduleF, charging equipment with a rating of at least 240 volts/32 amps will provide the fastest charging time.
For more information about an available 240V home charging unit, contact your Chevrolet dealer.
