{Warning
Using a charge level that exceeds
the electrical circuit or electrical
outlet capacity may start a fire or
damage the electrical circuit. Use
the lowest charge level until a
qualified electrician inspects the
electrical circuit capacity. Use the
lowest charge level if the
electrical circuit or electrical outlet
capacity is not known.
Electric Rate Preference
The vehicle estimates the charging
start time based on the utility rate
schedule, utility rate preference, and
programmed departure time for the
current day of the week. The vehicle
will charge during the least
expensive rate periods to achieve a
full battery charge by the departure
time. Electrical rate information from
the utility company for the charging
location is required for this mode.
If the selected charge mode is
Departure, then electric rate
preference selection will display. Electric Rate Preference Selection
From the Charge Mode tab on the
Charging screen with Departure
charge mode selected, touch More
to select the Electric Rate
Preference.
Touch one of the following options
to select the Electric Rate
Preference:
.
Off: Delay charging based on
departure.
. Off-Peak Only: Charge during
Off-Peak Rates.
. Cost Optimized Off- and
Mid-Peak: Charge during
Mid-Peak and Off-Peak Rates. .
Cost Optimized All Rates:
Charge during Peak, Mid-Peak,
and Off-Peak Rates.
Charging begins at the start time
and is complete by the departure
time only if sufficient time is allowed
after the charge cord is plugged in.
For example, if the vehicle is
plugged in for only one hour prior to
the departure time, and the battery
is completely discharged, the
vehicle will not be fully charged by
the departure time regardless of the
rate selection.
Also, if the selected electric rate
settings result in a very long charge
completion time, the vehicle will
start charging immediately upon
plug-in. For example, if the electric
rate table is set up with all Peak
rates and the rate preference is to
charge during Off-Peak rates only,
then the vehicle will start charging
immediately upon plug-in.

Location Based Charging
With Location Based Charging
enabled, the Charge Mode and
Portable Cord Limit Preference are
saved and set back to the customer
’s preference every time
the vehicle is returned to the saved
home location. When the vehicle is
not at the saved home location, then
the vehicle will default to the lower
limit of Portable Cord Limit
Preference, and the Charge Mode
will be set to Immediate. When
Location Based Charging is on and
the vehicle is away from the saved
home location, then the selection for
the delayed charge modes will be
disabled and the selection will be
grayed out.
After 90 days, a notification will
display and the Portable Cord Limit
Preference will need to be reset for
the next 90 days. See “Important
Information about Portable Electric
Vehicle Charging” earlier in this
section.
When the GPS location is not
available, dashes will be displayed
and Location Based Charging will
be disabled until the GPS is

Energy Detail
This screen displays how energy is
being used since the last time the
high voltage battery was fully
charged. It includes Driving and
Accessories, Climate Settings, and
Battery Conditioning. The circle
graph displays these percentages.
Energy Used and Distance Traveled
are also displayed.Range ImpactsThis screen provides an estimate of
the factors that influence energy
usage since the last full charge of

is evaluated for energy gains or
losses, and the total equivalent
distance is indicated by the value on
the right side of the screen. All
values are reset after a complete
charge.
.
Technique includes speed,
acceleration, and braking. Lower
speeds will increase electric
vehicle technique miles, while
higher speeds will reduce them. .
Terrain includes road conditions,
such as hills, rain, and snow.
External factors like wind will
also positively or negatively
impact Terrain. Low tire pressure
will worsen Terrain performance.
. Climate Settings includes how
the heating and air conditioning
