Charging and connectivity

GM engineers designed in maximum flexibility for keeping the Volt juiced up and connected -to the grid and to the Internet.

To know Volt, you must learn a new language. Vehicle electrification brings with it almost Defense Department levels of arcane terms and acronyms, particularly those related to vehicle charging and telematics. PEV (plug-in electric vehicle) and PHEV (plug-in hybrid) engineers have a head start with the new lexicon. For others, it is time to get smart.

EVSE is electric vehicle supply equipment-the off-board hardware needed to supply charge energy to the vehicle. Volt's EVSE includes the vehicle's charging cord, residential or public charging stands, attachment plugs, power outlets, and the vehicle connector.
