Select one of the following:
.
Electric Rate Schedule.
.
Charge Rate Preference.
Charge Rate Preference Selection
From the Charge Rate Information
screen, press Charge Rate
Preference.
Press 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.
.
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
“
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.
