The system also alerts you to any conflicts by highlighting areas of the
screen in yellow. If your battery cannot have a full charge by the
scheduled drive time, the system highlights the current My GO Time and
Actual Charge End Time and a message Charge at GO Time: under
100%
appears. This is normal; the vehicle is informing you of the
conflicting situation. This notification only displays when the gearshift
selector lever is in position P.

Note: Charging occurs as soon as you plug the vehicle in. The system
limits cabin conditioning to 15 minutes before the My GO Time.

To eliminate the conflict notification immediately or to prevent a conflict
in the future, try the following:

• Change the present My GO Time to occur later.

• Plug the vehicle into a 240V charging station instead of 120V

convenience cord. Higher power charging yields shorter charge times.

• Plug the vehicle in sooner.
Estimated Charge Time Limits

Battery shows you the battery’s current charge displayed as a
percentage. A reading of 100% means the battery has a full charge.
A reading of 0% means the battery has no charge.

To fully charge

240V is the estimated minimum charging time from the current

high-voltage battery level to full charge (100%). This represents the
shortest amount of time you should expect the high-voltage battery
to recharge under ideal conditions. Ideal conditions include a 240V
charging station and a minimum 30A service and high-voltage battery
at a moderate temperature.

Note: This charging time is only an estimate. It is normal for your actual
charge duration to be longer.

Note: Some charging stations use lower voltage (208V), which result in
longer charge times.

120V is the estimated maximum charging time from the current

high-voltage battery level to full charge (100%). This represents the
longest amount of time you should expect the high-voltage battery to
recharge under normal conditions. Normal conditions include a 120V
convenience cord and 12A service.

Note: This charging time is only an estimate. It is possible for your
actual charge duration to be longer. This occurs when the AC line
voltage is low and may indicate your electrical source is not meeting
certain requirements (see Charging the high-voltage battery in the
High Voltage Battery chapter).
