Programmable Charging (PLUG-IN Only)

Important Information About Portable Electric Vehicle Charging

. Charging an electric vehicle can stress a buildings electrical

system more than a typical household appliance.

. Before you plug in to any electrical outlet, have a qualified electrician

inspect and verify the electrical system (electrical outlet, wiring,

junctions, and protection devices)

for heavy-duty service at a 12 amp continuous load.

. Electrical outlets may wear out

with normal usage or be damaged over time, making them unsuitable for electric vehicle charging.

. Check the electrical outlet/plug while charging and discontinue

use if the electrical outlet/plug is

hot, then have the electrical outlet serviced by a qualified electrician.

. When outdoors, plug into an electrical outlet that is

weatherproof while in use.

. Mount the charging cord to reduce strain on the electrical outlet/plug.

{ Danger

Improper use of portable electric vehicle charge cords may cause a

fire, electrical shock, or burns, and may result in damage to property, serious injury, or death.

. Do not use extension cords, multi-outlet power strips,

splitters, grounding adaptors, surge protectors, or similar

devices.

. Do not use an electrical outlet that is worn or damaged,

or will not hold the plug firmly in place.

. Do not use an electrical outlet that is not properly grounded.

. Do not use an electrical outlet that is on a circuit with other electrical loads.


See the charge cord user guide.

Programmable Charge Modes

This vehicle has three programmable charge modes. To view the current

charge mode status in the

infotainment display, touch [ in

the infotainment display and then

touch CHARGING at the bottom of the display.

The Charge Start and Charge

Complete time estimates are also displayed on the screen. These

estimates are most accurate when the vehicle is plugged in and in moderate temperature conditions. Also, to get

an accurate time estimate, the vehicle uses an internal clock for

programmable charging, not the clock in the infotainment display.

image

Charge Mode Status

image

Immediately : The vehicle starts

charging as soon as it is connected to an electrical outlet. See Plug-In

Charging (PLUG-IN Only) 0 281.


image


Delay Charge Based on Departure Time : The vehicle estimates the

charging start time considering the programmed departure time for the current day of the week. 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.

152 INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS


image


image


Delay (Electric Rate and Departure Time) : The vehicle estimates the

charging start time based on the utility rate schedule, utility rate preference, and the 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.

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 Peakrates and the

rate preference is to charge during

image

Off-Peakrates only, then the vehicle will start charging immediately upon plug-in.

Charge Limit Selection

The Charge Limit Preference setting allows the customer to select their

vehicles charge level so it matches the

capability of their charging location.

If the vehicle consistently stops

image

charging after plugging in, or if a circuit breaker continues to trip, reducing to a lower Charge Limit Preference may resolve the issue.

image

The Charge Limit Preference should be configured to match the electrical

current rating for the electrical outlet that the charge cord is connected to.

The Charge Limit Preference settings are:

. Maximum: Limits AC current to 12 amps

. Reduced: Limits AC current to 8 amps

Exact current levels may vary from the values shown in this manual.

Check the vehicle for the current available levels.

The Charge Limit Preference setting

can be changed at any time while the infotainment display is operable.

For some vehicles, the Charge Limit Preference must be updated prior to the vehicle being charged and the

Charge Limit Preference will reset to a default value when the vehicle is

shifted from P (Park).

4. Touch 0 to store changes and return to the previous screen.

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.

the earliest possible time or the latest possible time. Use the Earliest setting to charge as soon as possible if there

is a planned departure prior to the scheduled departure time. Use the Latest setting to optimize energy

usage.

Charge Rate Preference Selection

From the Charge Rate Information

screen, touch Charge Rate Preference.


image

Touch one of the following options to select the Charge Rate Preference:

. Charge during Peak, Mid-Peak, and Off-Peak Rates: The vehicle can

charge during any rate period to

satisfy the next planned departure time. However, it will select when to charge to minimize the total

cost of the charge.

image

. Charge during Mid-Peak and

Off-Peak Rates: The vehicle will charge during Off-Peak and/or Mid-Peak rate periods only and will select when to charge to

minimize the total cost of the charge.

. Charge during Off-Peak Rates: The vehicle will only charge during

Off-Peak rate periods.

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

image

Off-Peak rates only, then the vehicle will start charging immediately upon plug-in.

Electric Rate Plan Selection

Electric rates, or cost per unit, may

vary based on time, weekday/weekend, and season. During the day when the

demand for electricity is high, the rates are usually higher and called

Peak rates. At night when the demand for electricity is low, the rates are

usually lower and called Off-Peak

rates. In some areas, a Mid-Peak rate is offered.

Contact the utility company to obtain the rate schedule for your area. The

summer and winter start dates must

be established to use a summer/winter schedule.

From the Charge Rate Information

screen, touch Electric Rate Schedule.
