Utility Rate Charging

The vehicle estimates the charging start time based on the utility rate schedule, utility rate preference, and 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. Utility rate information from the utility company for the charging location is required for this mode.

Select one of the following:

Charge Rate Preference

Touch one of the following options to select the Charge Rate Preference:

• Off-Peak Only: The vehicle will only charge during Off-Peak rate periods.
• Mid-Peak, Off-Peak: 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.
• Peak, Mid-Peak, Off-Peak: 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. 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 utility rate settings result in a very long charge completion time, the vehicle will start charging immediately upon plug-in. For example, if the utility 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.

Charge Completion

When the cost would be the same, based on utility rates, the earliest or latest possible time for a charge to complete can be selected. For example, if the Off-Peak charge time is 12 am to 6 am and only three hours of charge are needed, the Earliest Possible would start charging at 12 am and the Latest Possible would start charging at 3 am. Use the Earliest Possible setting to charge as soon as possible. Use the Latest Possible setting to optimize energy usage.

To edit the Charge Completion:

1. From the Utility Rate Charging screen, touch Charge Completion.
2. Select Earliest Possible or Latest Possible.
