Charge Mode Status
Immediately:
The vehicle starts
charging as soon as it is connected
to an electrical outlet. See
Delayed Departure Time:
The
vehicle estimates the charging start
time considering the programmed
departure time for the current day of
the week. 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.
Delayed Rate and
Departure Time:
{
Caution
This feature is dependent on
utility company support,
if available.
The vehicle estimates the charging
start time based on the utility rate
schedule, utility rate preference, and
the programmed departure time for
the current day of the week. The
vehicle will charge during the least
expensive rate periods to achieve a
full battery charge by the departure
time. Electrical rate information from
the utility company for the charging
location is required for this mode.
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.
