About icon. About the Energy App

If your infotainment screen has an in-vehicle Energy App, you can access important information about your vehicle’s energy use and charging status. It also lets you customize the charging settings and schedule based on your needs.


Charging Screen

You can customize charging settings to match your needs and schedule using the Charging tab:

  • Charge Mode: Your current charging mode will be displayed on this tab, including current state of charge, estimated time of completion, charging type and more.
  • Target Charge Level: Drag your finger on the slider bar on the right side of the screen to adjust your target charge level. Do this if, for example, you want to charge to 40% for your morning commute and then take advantage of charging at work for the additional charge.
    • Important: This setting will be remembered over key cycles. Be sure to adjust your setting to full charge if you no longer want to use the target charge level.
  • Charging Options: Many settings can be customized through this menu, including:
    • Charge immediately or delay charging based on your departure time.
    • Set up your departure schedule for the week, so your vehicle is always ready.
    • Set up location-based charging preferences (e.g., different settings for when you’re home vs. when you’re at work).
    • Set priority charging (immediately up to 40%) to help save battery for unexpected trips, while still following your delayed charging schedule.
    • Amperage settings for your household’s capabilities.
    • Electric rate preferences to optimize charging time based on the most cost-efficient time of day set by your utility company.
    • Set your radio to automatically turn itself off when your charge level falls below a certain level in order to save energy.
    • Turn charging status feedback horn chirps on/off.
    • Set up a charge cord theft alert to let you know if your charge cord was removed from the vehicle while it was armed.
    • Set up a lost power alert that will indicate when your vehicle stopped charging because of loss of power.

Energy Screen

The Energy tab lets you monitor your energy use and impacts on your efficiency. There are four pages to explore:

  • Flow: Shows real-time energy use. The battery bars represent your current state of charge, and the directional flow shows you whether power is flowing back into the battery (e.g., regenerative braking) or toward the motor (e.g., accelerating).
  • Details: Shows how far you’ve driven since last full charge and how much energy was used for driving behaviour/vehicle accessories, climate control and battery conditioning.
  • Impacts: See how key factors — your driving techniques, the terrain (uphill/downhill, etc.), cabin climate settings (heat/air conditioning) and outside temperature — may be impacting your real-time range, so you can adjust your habits for maximum efficiency.
    • You will also see an estimate of how many total kilometres you’ve added to or subtracted from your vehicle’s maximum range, based on these behaviors.
  • History: Displays your kilometres per kilowatt hour (kWh), as well as how efficiently you’ve driven over the past 80 kilometres and over the life of the vehicle.

Q&As

Why didn’t my vehicle charge completely?

If your vehicle finished charging but was not fully charged, check to make sure your target charge level is not set to a reduced amount. This setting will be stored until you change it again.
