Chevrolet Bolt EUV 2023 Charging Status User Guide
The 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV is a new way to drive that is also good for the environment. One of the most important things to remember about it is to keep an eye on its charging state.
The Bolt EUV is a cutting-edge electric crossover SUV made for environmentally conscious drivers who want a way to get around that doesn’t pollute and uses little energy. The Bolt EUV’s charging status is an important hub for information. It shows in real time the battery’s current charge level, how much range it is expected to have left, and the progress of charging sessions, whether they are happening at home with standard Level 1 or Level 2 chargers, at public charging stations, or using rapid DC fast charging infrastructure. This complete information about the charging state gives drivers the power to plan their trips well, make the most of the Chevy Bolt charging options that are available, and help make the future of mobility more sustainable and focused on electric vehicles.

Charging Status
Charging Status Screen with Quick Access Turned On
To view the current charging status in the infotainment display, touch Energy in the infotainment display and then touch Charging at the top of the display. Level 1-120V Cord Limit and Charge Overrides displays may not be displayed if quick access to these options is not turned on. To turn quick access for these options on or off, go to the Charging Options button and press on Level 1-120V Cord Limit or Delayed Charging (then Charge Overrides) and select Quick Access. The charge start and charge complete time estimates are also displayed. These estimates are most accurate when the vehicle is plugged in and in moderate temperature conditions.
Charging Options
To view or change charging options, touch Energy from the Infotainment home screen, touch the Charging tab, and then touch Charging Options on the Charging Status screen.
Level 1-120V Cord Limit
The Level 1-120V Cord Limit setting allows the vehicle’s charge level to be selected so it matches the capability of the charging location. If the vehicle consistently stops charging after plugging in, or if a circuit breaker continues to trip, reducing the Level 1-120V Cord Limit may resolve the issue.
The Level 1-120V Cord Limit should be configured to match the electrical current rating for the electrical outlet that the charge cord is connected to.
The Level 1-120V Cord Limit settings are:
- Reduced: Limits AC current to 8 amps
- Maximum: Limits AC current to 12 amps
- Quick Access: When this is on, the setting is shown on the Charging Status screen and the Level 1-120V Cord Limit can be accessed from the Charging Status screen.
Exact current levels may vary from the values shown in this manual. Check the vehicle for the currently available levels. The Level 1-120V Cord Limit setting resets to the Reduced 8 amp setting each time the vehicle is driven. Location Based Charging can be enabled to maintain the Maximum 12 amp setting at a specified Home location. See “Location-Based Charging” later in this section. The Level 1-120V Cord Limit setting can be changed at any time while the infotainment display is operable.
The Chevy Bolt charge limit setting typically allows you to set a charging limit through its onboard settings or smartphone app to manage how much the battery charges, helping to avoid overcharging and maximize battery longevity.
Warning
Using a charge level that exceeds the electrical circuit or electrical outlet capacity may start a fire or damage the electrical circuit. Use the lowest charge level until a qualified electrician inspects the electrical circuit capacity. Use the lowest charge level if the electrical circuit or electrical outlet capacity is not known.
Chevy Bolt Target Charge Level
This mode allows the charging range for the vehicle to be set based on what is needed. When at a public pay station and a full charge is not needed, the target charge level can be set to only get as much range as needed. If driving on a hill, the target charge level can be set to stop the charge before the battery is full to allow space for energy from regenerative braking when going down a hill. There is a minimum target charge level. Once this level is reached, they – will not allow the target charge level bar to move down further.
Chevy Bolt Target Charge Level can also be set separately for Location-Based Home and Away locations. If available, the Home and Away buttons will appear on the screen. When Location-Based Charging is active, the Target Charge Level on the Charging Status screen will automatically update to the Home or Away setting based on the current location. For quick access to the Target Charge Level, go to the Charging Status screen, and the Target Charge level displays on the right side of the screen. The dark horizontal white line can be dragged up and down to the desired Target Charge Level. Tapping once on the Target Charge Level indication or attempting to change the setting will pop out a window that shows your current and projected range.
The main Chevy Bolt Target Charge Level screen can be found by pressing Target Charge Level in the Charging Options.
Touch + or – to increase or decrease the charge level, or drag the dark horizontal white line up and down on the graphic to the desired level. A reminder will display on the instrument cluster to show Target Charge Level set. If the Target Charge Level is higher than 80%, fast charging on the instrument cluster will show an 80% point, a shaded line up to the Target Charge Level, a solid line for current charge level, and the time to complete 80%. If the Target Charge Level is less than 80%, fast charging on the instrument cluster will show a shaded line up to the Target Charge Level and the time to complete. Target Charge Level defaults to 100% if the 12 volt battery becomes discharged.
Displayed Charge Times
This feature determines how the charge times are displayed on the Charging Status screen. The selections for Home and Away can be different when location-based charging is turned on.
