E-Ray Only
Hybrid Battery Charging (Charge+)
The Charge+ feature is used to quickly
charge the high voltage battery to near
maximum State of Charge (SOC). This
feature is useful to prepare for maximum
effort at a racetrack or Stealth mode use. By
activating the Charge+ feature, it rapidly
increases the hybrid battery SOC status into the blue 100% full zone. See
Power Indicator
Gauge 087. When the Charge+ feature is
enabled, the battery SOC may still deplete
during aggressive driving.
The Charge+ feature can be used in
conjunction with any drive mode except
Stealth or Shuttle mode.
On a racetrack, using the Charge+ feature
optimizes the high voltage battery discharge
rate for sustaining continuous lapping or to
set your fastest lap. When the Charge+
feature is enabled, a strategic discharge rate
is activated, which is the best for continuous
lapping on the racetrack. When the Charge+
feature is off, a maximum discharge rate
occurs, which is best for setting the fastest
lap time. For additional details on vehicle
track preparation, see Chevrolet.com >
Corvette Experience > Guides > Track Prep
Guide.
Do not leave the Charge+ feature on longer
than needed since extra fuel may be
consumed due to aggressive charging.
Charge+ draws on engine power to help
recharge the battery quickly, rather than
charging efficiently through brake or coast
regen. When the high voltage battery is full,
no additional regen energy of any type can
be captured. When the Charge+ feature is turned off, the
high voltage propulsion system efficiently
uses battery energy to improve fuel
economy or performance. This allows room
in the high voltage battery for the next
regen charging opportunity. The high
voltage battery automatically seeks its
nominal SOC in the white zone of the
Hybrid Battery Gauge, between 50-80%. The
SOC status is displayed in the HYBRID
BATTERY info tile, and is shown in the blue
Hybrid Battery state. See
“Info Tiles”in
Instrument Cluster 081.
The Charge+ feature is only effective when
the car is being driven. Optimal high voltage
battery charging occurs when the vehicle
speed exceeds 56 km/h (35 mph).

200 Driving and Operating
Turning On or Off Charge+
Press the Charge+ button on the drive side
of the center console. When the Charge+
feature is active, the hybrid battery charging
light displays on the DIC. SeeHybrid Battery
Charging Light (Charge+) 087. Also, a small
pop-up window will also appear showing the
exact SOC and electric power input/output.
The Hybrid Battery Gauge shows the
increasing SOC filling into the blue zone. See
Power Indicator Gauge 087.
EV Drive Mode Attributes
Stealth Mode : Use to silently exit your
residence before the engine turns on for
maximum performance capability. The
typical range in Stealth mode is about three to four miles depending on the starting SOC,
vehicle speed, and other driving conditions.
The Stealth Drive Mode Capability Gauge on
the instrument cluster informs the driver of
when the engine will start, see
Stealth Drive
Mode Capability Gauge 086.
Stealth mode automatically deactivates if
the following occurs:
.The vehicle speed exceeds 72 km/h
(45 mph).
.The outside temperature is lower than
10°C (50°F).
.The high voltage battery SOC is lower
than 21%.
.Quickly depressing the accelerator pedal.
.Depressing the accelerator pedal beyond
one-third of the way.
.Turning on the climate controls. See Dual
Automatic Climate Control System 0150.
If one of the conditions occur, an indicator
on the Driver Information Center (DIC)
displays explaining Stealth mode was
automatically deactivated.
When Stealth mode is deactivated, the
vehicle will transition into Tour mode. Stealth mode can only be activated one
time per ON/OFF cycle. Once the engine
auto-starts while in Stealth mode, the only
way to re-enter Stealth mode is to put the
vehicle in P (Park), turn the vehicle off and
repeat the steps above in the
“E-Ray–EV
Drive Mode Activation” section.
Once the engine starts, the propulsion
system transitions from EV propulsion to
engine power. A message will display on the
EV selection menu to indicate how long the
engine power transition will take. This
transition may take two to four seconds
depending on the engine temperature.
The electric power indicator gauge will
indicate a transition from EV propulsion to
engine propulsion. The instrument cluster
will show two or three phases of the
transition (red, yellow, green) and then
display the engine tachometer when the
transition is complete.
If Stealth Mode was used in the beginning
of a drive cycle, the Stop/Start System will
be disabled. The vehicle must be turned off
and restarted normally to enable the Stop/
Start System. See Stop/Start System 0180.
