Important Information about Electric Vehicle Charging
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 adapters, 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.
- Charging an electric vehicle (EV) and increased charging rates can stress a building’s electrical system more than a typical household appliance.
- Before plugging the charge cord into an electrical outlet for the first time, 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.
- Check electrical outlets often, as they may wear out with normal use or become damaged over time, making them unsuitable for EV charging.
- Check the electrical outlet/plug while charging. If the electrical outlet/plug appears hot, discontinue using it immediately and have the electrical outlet serviced by a qualified electrician.
- When charging outdoors, use an electrical outlet that is weatherproof.
- Mount the charging cord to reduce strain on the electrical outlet/plug.
- Do not place the charge cord in a position where there is risk of it being submerged in water.
Charging App
The Charging app provides access to features which help you to review and manage charging preferences.
To launch the Charging app from the infotainment home screen, touch the Charging icon. There are four selections to choose from: Next Charge, Charge Assist, Schedule, and Settings. When you launch Charging for the first time, the Next Charge screen will display.
Next Charge
To view the current charging status on the infotainment screen, touch 
On the Next Charge screen, you can review information for the next charging session and specify if you want to Charge Now or Charge Later.
Charge Now
Charge Now is the default charging mode for your vehicle. The vehicle begins charging immediately when it is plugged in and authenticated at the charging location.
With Charge Now selected, the Charging screen displays:
- Text indicating that the vehicle will charge immediately when plugged in
- The estimated time at which the vehicle will reach the desired charge level
- Target Charge Level Gauge: The percentage at which the vehicle will stop charging. The gauge also displays an estimate of the vehicle’s range upon completing the charging session.
Warning
Do not charge your vehicle’s battery above an 80% charge if you are going to drive down long, steep grades such as mountain passes. This provides room in the battery for regenerative braking to supplement your conventional brakes during the descent. This is especially important when towing a trailer, which puts additional stress on your vehicle’s braking system.
The default charge level is 80% when plugged in to protect battery life. To set a different charge level, drag the circular marker on the Target Charge Level Gauge to the preferred value. To lower the desired charge level, drag the Charge Level marker counterclockwise, and to increase it drag the marker clockwise. The charge level can also be changed by tapping
Charge Later
Instead of charging immediately to a desired charge level, you may choose to delay the charge to the vehicle and have it completed by your desired departure time. This may be a more economical choice and a more efficient use of energy when charging at home. To use this mode, touch Charge Later on the Next Charge screen.
With Charge Later selected, the Charging screen displays:
- Text indicating that your vehicle will delay charging to be ready by the time specified
- The ability to set the desired time at which the vehicle will finish charging and be ready for departure
- Target Charge Level Gauge: Ability to set the percentage at which the vehicle will stop charging. The gauge also displays an estimate of the vehicle’s range upon completing the charging session.
- Preconditioning: Ability to heat or cool the cabin to your desired temperature using energy from the charger. Energy from the battery is not used to condition the cabin, ensuring the vehicle gets the maximum range from the charging session. Preconditioning happens at the end of the charge, and right before the departure time.
To set the time at which the vehicle will complete the charge and be ready for departure:
Drag each value up or down within the time selector until the preferred time is selected. If the desired charge level cannot be reached by the selected time, a message will display that one of the two preferences must be adjusted.
To adjust desired charge level in Charge Later mode, see “Charge Now” earlier in this section. Setting the Preconditioning preference:
Touch the switch to turn on Preconditioning. The Preconditioning temperature can be adjusted by touching Preconditioning on this screen, or in Settings.
Active Charging
For information on the vehicle battery and charging, During an active charging session, the Charging screen displays and continuously updates the following items:
- The current charging status
- The range the vehicle is capable of driving at the current charge level
- The estimated time at which the vehicle will reach the desired charge level
- If equipped, the current amount of power that is charging the high voltage battery
- If equipped, the maximum amount of power your vehicle is able to charge at
- Target Charge Level Gauge: The current charge level value represented as a percentage and a colored section of the circular gauge.
To update the desired charge level for the active charging session, drag the marker on the Target Charge Level Gauge. If the charge coupler is locked, the Stop Charge button will display. Touching the Stop Charge button at any time ends the active charging session.
If equipped for Level 1 and Level 2 chargers, you can also select the appropriate charge cord limit. This determines how much current will flow from an electrical outlet to the vehicle battery. It also ensures proper charge time estimates.
When the charge cord limit is changed to the highest setting on a 120-volt circuit a notification is displayed.
If no Home Location is set, the Level 1 cord limit will revert to the lowest setting every time the vehicle is shifted out of (P) Park.
Range and charge time estimates fluctuate depending on several factors such as charge cord level/limit, battery temperature, and outside temperature.
