is recommended. The Level 2 EVSE connects to a 40  
Amp circuit breaker and delivers 32 Amp maximum to  
the vehicle.  
Plug the charge handle into the Level 2 EVSE station  
and coil the charging cord onto its holder. Do not  
leave the charging cord lying on the ground.  
Charging Schedule — Check whether the charging  
schedule is enabled and if so, whether the vehicle  
is currently within the scheduled charge time/day  
(weekday/weekend). If the charging schedule is  
enabled within the vehicle, you may override it  
for this charging event by plugging in the charge  
connector, unplugging it, and then plugging it back  
into the vehicle charge inlet. Complete the double  
plug sequence within 10 seconds for it to override  
the set schedule.  
When using public charging stations, ensure the  
charging station is ready to provide charge and the  
vehicle is in PARK before the Level 2 EVSE is plugged  
into the vehicle’s charge inlet. You will hear a “click”  
when the charge connector is inserted correctly and is  
coupled with the vehicle’s charge inlet.  
DC CHARGING  
DC Charging is a significantly faster method of charging  
your vehicle either on the go or overnight. The DC  
charging cable plugs into the vehicle straight from the  
power outlet not needing the status indicator display.  
The power converter for the DC charging cord is within  
the charging cable.

NOTE:  
Hood Ajar — Check whether the hood is open.  
Charging is disabled while the hood is open, and will  
resume when the hood closes.  
The vehicle should start charging automatically. If not,  
please check the following:

is currently within the scheduled charge time/day  
(weekday/weekend). If the charging schedule is

There is a battery display indicator located on the  
instrument cluster. The battery display will indicate the  
current State Of Charge (SOC) for the high voltage  
battery; with the percentage value located to the top  
of the bar. When plugged in, the battery symbol also  
indicates the battery level along with messages about  
the charge or whether the system is waiting to charge  
due to the charge schedule. These will appear unless  
there is a charging fault. A green plug telltale will be  
shown in the cluster, as well as applicable messaging  
when charging.  
NOTE:  
DC Charging can vary from high to low power depending  
on potential external factors such as weather and  
power supply.  
NOTE:  
Due to the convenience of DC Charging there may be  
a higher payment required depending on the charge  
station selected.  
Hood Ajar — Check whether the hood is open.  
Charging is disabled while the hood is open, and will  
resume when the hood closes.  
NOTE:  
The vehicle should start charging automatically. If not,  
please check the following:  
To stop the charging process:  
Press the button located on the Level 2 EVSE vehicle  
connector.  
Charging Station — Check the indications and  
instructions at the charging station.  
Remove the connector from the vehicle charge inlet.

that are mounted to the left of the charge port, which  
will illuminate when the vehicle is plugged into the  
charging system.  
The SOC indicator provides a visual indication of the  
high voltage battery’s charge status during charging. It  
is also used to indicate a charging problem as well as  
waiting for a scheduled charge to begin.  
NOTE:  
The lights scroll one at a time when the vehicle is  
plugged in outside of its charging schedule time/day  
of the week, and it is waiting on the schedule to begin  
charging.  
In extreme hot or cold environments, the lights on  
the SOC indicator may not illuminate. Charge status is  
available in the instrument cluster display. In the event  
of an error in the charging process, the outer two lights  
will blink.  
High Voltage Battery Display  
Instrument Panel State Of Charge Indicator  
In addition to the battery display in the instrument  
cluster, your vehicle is equipped with a visual SOC  
indicator. The SOC indicator is made up of five lights  
When the hood is open, the lights on the SOC indicator  
will not be illuminated.

All lights turn on, then immediately turn off  
Indicates a successful plug-in  
NOTE:  
For each segment of lights illuminated indicating the percent of battery charge, two different blink rates are used. A blink rate of 1 second on/1 second off indicates that the  
first half is charging. The blink rate will increase to 0.5 second on/0.5 second off to indicate that the second half is charging. When the battery is fully charged, the blinking  
stops and the lights remain illuminated as charging continues.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE APP  
Within the Uconnect system is the Electric Vehicle  
App that allows you to see your vehicle’s power flow  
and set a charging schedule for your vehicle’s high  
voltage battery. To access this App, press the Apps  
or Vehicle button on the main menu bar of the  
radio’s touchscreen, and locate the Electric Vehicle  
App. Accessing the app brings you to a set of three  
pages: Power Flow, Schedules, and Charge Setting.
