CHARGE YOUR VEHICLE ON THE GO

Public charging stations are a convenient way to charge your vehicle’s battery while you’re away from home. Depending on the station, public chargers offer Level 2 or DC Fast Charging^† to provide power to your vehicle.

To charge your electric vehicle on the go:

1. Use the Charging app in your vehicle’s center display or mobile app^† to find a public charging station.

2. Park the vehicle and locate the charging port on the outside of the vehicle. Usually, it’s on the driver’s side below the outside rearview mirror or behind the rear wheel well.

a. Press the charge port door until you hear a click, and it will release to open.

b. If your vehicle has a motorized charge port door, press the emblem or indicator on the door to open the charge port. The door will automatically open and a ring light around the charging receptacle will illuminate.

c. If using DC Fast Charging, remove the dust cover on the charge port.

3. Plug the charging station’s cord into the vehicle’s charge port.

4. Follow the steps on the charging station or the charging station’s mobile app to start charging.

Note: Capping your battery’s charge at 80% helps promote battery health and optimal regenerative braking performance for daily use.

To complete the charging process:

When the vehicle has reached your targeted charge level, it will automatically stop charging and the plug will be unlocked. You can also manually stop charging using the controls at the charging station or by tapping “Stop” in the Charging page on your center display. If you’re using DC Fast Charging, you can also stop charging via the charging station’s app on your smartphone. To complete the charging process:

1. Unplug the charge cord from the vehicle and replace the dust cover inside the charge port if using DC Fast Charging.

2. Close the charge port door and press it until you hear a click.

a. If you leave your charge port door open and open the driver door, you’ll hear three beeps to remind you to close it.

3. If the vehicle has a motorized charge port door, close it by pressing the black rectangular button to the left of the charge port. Some vehicles will automatically close the charge port door if you forget to close it before shifting the vehicle into DRIVE.
