Charging System - Chevrolet 2011 Volt Collision Awareness Manual

Charging System

The Chevrolet Volt features an onboard high voltage charging
system that recharges the high voltage battery. The system
utilizes a unique cord to connect the vehicle to an electrical
receptacle. The charger is located behind the passenger
headlamp assembly and bumper fascia. The charger converts
household AC into DC voltage to charge the onboard battery.
The vehicle charge port provides the interface between the
cords, plug, and the charger.
Vehicle Charge Port
In the event a Volt is involved in an incident while the battery
charger is plugged in for charging the battery, remove the
charge cord from the car using the charger cord handle at the
charge port in the left front fender. If that cannot be
accomplished, the electrical power to the charge cord should
be terminated at the source.
