CHARGING
BATTERY
The Bolt EV is powered by a lithium-ion high voltage battery pack, which\
holds 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
Charging rates and times vary depending on outside temperature and remai\
ning charge.
When using a 120-volt electrical outlet, it will charge at a rate of 4 E\
V miles per hour with the 12-amp setting (approximately 50 hours total to charge a deple\
ted battery).
When using a 240-volt charging station, it will charge at a rate of 12 E\
V miles per hour at a 16-amp level (approximately 19 hours total), and at a rate of 25 \
EV miles per hour at a 32-amp level (approximately 9 1/2 hours total to charge a depleted\
battery).
Using a public DC Fast Charging station with the available Fast Charge p\
ort, it will take approximately 30 minutes, at an 80 kW power level, to charge a depleted \
battery to an estimated 90 miles of EV range.
PROGRAMMABLE CHARGING
There are 3 programmable charging modes: Immediately upon plug-in; Delay\
ed based on departure time; and Delayed based on electric rate and departure time.
Touch the Energy icon on the touchscreen and then touch the Charging icon to view the current Charge Mode and Charge Limit.
Touch the Charge Limit toggle button to select a different charge level.\
Touch the desired Charge Mode box to select a different 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).
Single tone and flashing green indicator – Vehicle is plugged in; battery is charging. Flashes indicate current percentage of battery charge.
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
No light and repetitive tones – Issue with the charge cord connection
