The following factors determine the time it takes to charge the high voltage battery:
The high voltage battery’s current state of charge
The type of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) used (Level 1 – 120 V or Level 2 – 240 V)
Ambient temperature
Whether the vehicle’s ignition is in the RUN position during charging
The following charging times are estimates based on charging a high voltage battery that has a <1% State Of Charge (SOC) value displayed in the instrument cluster.
Charging times will vary based on the age, condition, SOC, available current being provided to the charger from its energy source, and temperature of the high voltage battery.
Charging times may be longer if a thermal self-protection reduces the charging current from the EVSE being used.
If the vehicle’s ignition is in either the ACC or RUN position, the vehicle charge indicator may not indicate greater than a 99% SOC and will continue to charge the vehicle, due to the vehicle loads.
|
Type of EVSE |
Estimated Charge Time |
|---|---|
|
Level 1 (120 V/15 A) |
Approximately 12 hours |
|
Level 2 (240 V/30 A or 32 A) |
Approximately 2 hours |
Instrument Cluster High Voltage Battery Display
There is a battery display indicator located on the instrument cluster. The battery display will indicate the current State Of Charge (SOC) for the high voltage battery; with the percentage value located to the right of the symbol. When plugged in, the battery symbol also indicates the battery level along with messages about the charge or whether the system is waiting to charge due to the charge schedule. These will appear unless there is a charging fault. A green plug telltale will be shown in the cluster, as well as applicable messaging when charging.

Within your Uconnect system is the Hybrid Electric App that allows you to see your vehicle’s power flow, understand your driving history, and set a charging schedule for your vehicle’s high voltage battery. To access this app, press the Apps button on the main menu bar of the radio’s touchscreen, and locate the Hybrid Electric App. Pressing the app icon brings you to a set of hybrid electric pages: Power Flow, Driving History, Charging Schedule, e-Save, and Charge Settings (if equipped).
Apps Menu Screen
The Power Flow screen shows the current power readings for all of the following:
Engine - Shows the amount of power (in kW) the engine is generating. Based on vehicle operating conditions, this power is used to: propel the vehicle, provide passenger compartment heating, power vehicle electrical loads, and charge the high voltage battery. Engine operation is controlled to maximize fuel economy.
Battery - Shows the amount of power (in kW) the high voltage battery is currently providing/absorbing. A negative kW indicates the vehicle’s high voltage battery is charging.
Climate - Shows the amount of power (in kW) the Climate Control system is using to maintain the current interior temperature.
Power Flow paths are indicated by the direction of the arrows on the touchscreen.
Power Flow Screen
The Driving History screen shows the miles (km) driven in both Full Electric and Hybrid (battery and engine powered) modes for both the previous week and the current week. The data is displayed in a bar graph: Electric mode in teal and Hybrid mode in blue.
On the bar graph, miles (km) driven on the same day in Electric mode (battery only) are always shown below miles (km) driven in Hybrid mode. When one day of the week exceeds 100 miles (160 km) driven, the values for miles (km) driven in Electric and Hybrid modes will be listed above the bar graph in respective colors (teal for Electric and blue for Hybrid).
Driving History Screen
To set a charging schedule, select the Hybrid Electric App on the touchscreen and follow these steps:
Select “Schedules”.
Charging Schedules Screen
Select one of the three charging schedules by pressing the appropriate arrow on the right side of the screen.
Select if Scheduled Charging should “Charge Until Full”.
Set the Charge Start Time: Hours, Minutes, and AM/PM.
This is to occur every week (as long as the vehicle is connected to a Charging Cable).
Set Charge Schedule
When done, press the back arrow. The active schedule will be indicated by the check mark to the right of the schedule event line. The Event Action and Time will be displayed.
To add another Scheduled Charging event, repeat these steps.
A maximum of two independent Scheduled Charging events can be scheduled at a given time.
If “Charge Until Full” is selected, the vehicle must be plugged in within five minutes of the start time. The following are situations in which “Charge Until Full” may not be honored:
If selected for five days (Monday through Friday), and the vehicle is plugged in five or more minutes after the start time on any of those days, “Charge Until Full” will not be honored for that day. “Charge Until Full” will resume on the next day at the scheduled time.
If there are multiple plug/unplug events after first being plugged in within five minutes, “Charge Until Full” will not be honored for that day.
If other schedules (Charge Interval, etc.) are set at a later time in addition to “Charge Until Full” being selected, and the vehicle is plugged in five or more minutes after the scheduled start time, “Charge Until Full” will not be honored for that day. The next available schedule will be followed.
If the charging schedule is not enabled, the vehicle will charge whenever plugged in. It is not necessary to set up the charging schedule to charge the vehicle.
If the vehicle is plugged in outside of the charging schedule set in the Uconnect system (and Charge Until Full is not selected), the vehicle’s battery will not charge. Charging will only begin immediately if the vehicle is plugged in within the time and day of the week set in the schedule. Otherwise, charging will automatically begin when the selected charge time/day of the week occurs or whenever the vehicle is plugged in with no charge schedule set.
Scheduled Charging may be bypassed and charging will begin automatically if the high voltage battery State Of Charge (SOC) is below its optimal operating point.
If the vehicle is turned off outside of the charging window, a radio pop-up message will be displayed, which provides an option to begin charging the vehicle immediately. The pop-up message asks the driver if they would like to “Charge Now?” and provides other information, including the next charging schedule start time and estimated time to charge the battery to 100%. If within one hour of selecting “Yes,” the vehicle is connected to a powered Charging Cable, the vehicle will immediately begin to charge (temporarily ignoring any set charge schedule). To fully deactivate the charge schedule, refer to the “Schedules” feature within the Hybrid Electric App.
The charging schedule can also be overridden if the Charging Cable is plugged in, unplugged, and then plugged in a second time to the vehicle. After the first plug in ofthe vehicle, wait until the battery charge indicator on the instrument panel lights up before unplugging. This “double plug sequence” will override the schedule that is set in the radio, and begin charging the vehicle immediately. The double plug sequence must be completed within 10 seconds for it to override the programmed schedule.
If “Charge Until Full” is selected, and the vehicle is plugged in after the start time of the schedule, the vehicle will start charging when it reaches the start time the next day. If you would like to begin charging immediately, and continue charging until the vehicle is fully charged, you can select the “Charge Now” option or use the double plug override option.
There is also a Climate Schedule which can be set and managed for climate or cabin conditioning.
If the vehicle is turned off outside of the charging window, a radio pop-up message will be displayed. The pop-up message asks the driver if they would like to “Charge Now?” and provides the next charging schedule start time and estimated time to charge the battery to 100%. If within one hour of selecting “Yes”, the vehicle is connected to a powered EVSE, the vehicle will immediately begin to charge (temporarily ignoring any set charge schedule). To fully deactivate the charge schedule, select the “Enable Schedule” checkbox until the check mark is removed from the box.
The charging schedule can also be overridden if an EVSE is plugged in, unplugged, and then plugged in a second time to the vehicle. This double plug sequence will override the set schedule in the Hybrid Electric Pages App, and begin charging the vehicle immediately. The double plug sequence must be completed within 10 seconds for it to override the programmed schedule.
The fourth screen within the Hybrid Electric Pages App is the e-Save screen. From this screen, you can specify the behavior of the e-Save drive mode:
e-Save Screen
Battery Save - Maintains the high voltage State of Charge at its current level under most driving scenarios.
The SOC may increase if there is sufficient energy capture through regenerative braking.
Battery Charge - Uses additional power from the gas engine to increase the high voltage State of Charge, up to 95% capacity.
