Charge mode status
Immediately:
The vehicle starts charging as soon
as it is connected to an electrical
outlet.
Charging 3 130.
Delayed (Departure Time):
The vehicle estimates the charging
start time considering the departure
time programmed for the current day
of the week. Charging will begin at the
start time and will be completed by the
departure time only if sufficient time is
given after the charge cord is plugged
in.
Delayed (Rate & Departure Time):
The vehicle estimates the charging
start time based on the utility rate
schedule, utility rate preference and
the departure time programmed 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.
