Utility Interruption of

Charging

For participating customers using
AC charging, this vehicle will
respond to remote requests via
Black plate (66,1)
OnStar to limit or completely block
electrical power grid usage for brief
time periods. A utility interruption of
charging may increase AC vehicle
charge times, but will not affect DC
charge times.
When electrical grid power is
completely blocked, the vehicle will
delay charging until the utility
interruption has expired. The vehicle
should be left plugged in so that,
when the utility interruption expires,
the vehicle can automatically begin
charging.
Changing the charge mode to
Immediate or performing a delayed
charging override will not disable a
utility interruption.
A pop-up will appear in the center
stack display during the key cycle
following any utility interruption. See
Charging Override/Interruption
Pop-up under Programmable
Charging on page 5-29.
