Quick answer

The in-vehicle Charging app separates the next session, assistance, schedules and settings; Chevrolet defaults the target to 80% for daily use and lets the driver raise it for a longer trip.

Important limits

  • A scheduled session still depends on available power, charger capability and the connector being fully latched.
  • Charging to a higher target can take substantially longer, particularly near full.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If charging does not begin immediately, verify that Charge Later was not selected and review the next scheduled event.
  • ✓If the target is ignored, check for a temporary station limit, charging fault or incomplete connector engagement.
