Charging
Start Charging
The provided 120-volt portable charge cord is located under the storage floor in the cargo area and can be used to charge the vehicle when a 240V charging station is not available.
1. With the vehicle parked, turn off the vehicle and select the Charging button at the
bottom of the Energy Summary screen.
2. Review the selected Charge Mode and Charge Limit. Select the Charge Limit toggle button if an increased charging limit is desired. Use the 8-amp charge limit until a qualified electrician inspects your home’s electrical circuit capacity, or if the electrical circuit or outlet capacity is not known.
Note: The charge level selection returns to the 8-amp setting each time the vehicle is driven.
3. Plug the charge cord into an electrical
outlet. DO NOT PLUG INTO AN EXTENSION CORD. Charge cord indicators should be green. Where possible, secure the charge cord to the wall.
4. Press and release the rear edge of the charge port door, located just in front of the driver’s door, to open it. Plug the charge cord into the charge port.
5. The Charge Status indicator on top of the instrument panel will illuminate green and a tone will sound when properly connected.
6. Periodically check the electrical outlet/plug while charging. Discontinue use if the electrical outlet/plug is hot and have the electrical outlet serviced by a qualified electrician.
If the vehicle is locked with the RKE trans-mitter, the charge cord theft alert is armed
automatically after 30 seconds.
Note: When the theft alert is armed, the alarm will sound when the plug is disconnected from the vehicle. To change charge cord theft alert options, go to Energy in the Vehicle Settings menu.
To temporarily override a delayed charge event, remove and reconnect the charge cord to the vehicle within 5 seconds. It will begin charging immediately.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.

See Driving and Operating in your Owner Manual.
Location-Based Charging
Charging settings can be saved for your home location and the vehicle will auto-matically revert to these settings when parked at its “home” location.
1. From the Energy Home screen, select Energy Settings > Location-Based Charging.
2. Select On.
3. Select Update Home Location. Add the required information to set the current vehicle location as the home location.
When away from the home location, the Bolt EV will charge immediately when plugged in.
See Instruments and Controls in your Owner Manual.
Home Charging Station
Charging equipment with at least a 240-volt/32-amp rating will provide the fastest charging time to recharge the propulsion battery.

DC Charging (if equipped)
DC charging stations are typically found in public locations.
Charging Time
Using a DC charging station, it will take approximately 30 minutes to recharge a deplet-ed battery to 90 miles of EV range. Charge times will vary with outside temperature. Charging will continue to 100%, but at a slower rate. At 100% state of charge, the vehicle may continue to draw power to condition the battery if needed. Once battery condition-ing is complete, the vehicle will stop the charge session.
Start DC Charging
1. With the vehicle parked and turned off, push and release the rear edge of the charge port door, located just in front of the driver’s door, to open the door.
2. Unlatch and lower the DC charging dust cover on the charge port.
3. Plug the charge cord into the vehicle’s charge port.
4. Follow the steps on the charging station to start charging. The electric parking brake will automatically apply and the DC plug will be locked and cannot be disconnected while charging is active.
5. The Charge Status Indicator on top of the instrument panel will illuminate green and the horn will chirp when properly connected.
Note: To change the horn chirp setting, go to Charging Alerts in the Vehicle Settings menu.
If the vehicle is locked with the RKE transmitter, the charge cord theft alert is armed
automatically after 30 seconds.
End DC Charging
1. Unlock the vehicle with the RKE transmitter to disarm the charge cord theft alert.
2. When the vehicle is fully charged, it will stop charging and the plug will be unlocked. To stop charging at any time, use the controls on the charging station or touch the Stop button on the Battery Information screen on the vehicle touchscreen.
3. When the Charge Status Indicator is solid green or off, unplug the charge cord from the vehicle.
4. Close the DC charging dust cover and close the charge port door.
5. Disengage the electric parking brake before driving the vehicle.
