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 AC electrical outlet, it will take approximately 5\
5 hours to fully charge a depleted battery with the 12 amp AC current setting, allowing a\
pproximately 4 miles for every hour of charging.
When using a 240-volt charging station, it will take approximately 10 ho\
urs to fully charge a depleted battery with the 32 amp AC setting, allowing approxima\
tely 25 miles for every hour of charging.
When using a DC charging station with at least 80 kW of available power,\
it will take approximately 30 minutes to charge a depleted battery to an estimated 90\
miles of driving range.
PROGRAMMABLE CHARGING
There are 3 programmable charging modes: Immediately upon plug-in; Delay\
ed based on departure time or electric rates; and Target charge level for needed ran\
ge.
Touch the Energy icon on the touchscreen and then touch the Charging icon to view the current Charge Mode and Charge Limit.

4 flashes: 75–99% charged
Solid light: 100% charged
