T18 Drive Motor Battery Charger

Driver Information Center

The on-board drive motor battery charger is located
above the transmission and provides the mounting for
the Accessory Power Module. The charger can create a
maximum output of 11 kW during level 2 charging at 48
amps when running on a 60 amp circuit. The vehicle
can achieve a full charge in about 7 hours with a
hard-wired 48 amp charger vs. 10 hours using the 32
amp. level 2 portable dual mode charge cord. The level
1 portable cord set can take significantly longer and is
intended only for situations where it is not possible to
access a level 2 charge cord.
When using the portable dual mode charge cord:
• For level 1 charging, it is recommended that
owners utilize a dedicated 20-amp outlet and
ensure the charge rate limit is set to the 12-amp
rate using the energy display. Location based
charging must be activated in order to achieve 12
amp charging. The outlet must be dedicated,
heavy duty, and have a 20-amp rated capacity.
The portable charge cord will yield a range of
approximately 6 kilometers (4 miles) for every
hour of charge at that rate. If a 15-amp or
non-dedicated outlet is used, the charge rate limit
must be set to 8 amps
• For level 2 charging using the portable dual mode
charger with a dedicated 50 amp outlet. At this
level, the range yield about 40 kilometers (25
miles) per hour of charging.
• For level 2 charging using a hard-wired 240V
charge station with a dedicated outlet sized
appropriately for the charger. At 48 amps, the
range yield is 60 kilometers (37 miles) per hours of
charging.
While charging, the Accessory Power Module is
activated to maintain a low voltage battery charge and
to provide low voltage system current for accessories to
operate during charging such as modules, cooling fans,
and even the A/C system.

Configuring the Driver Information Center

5867245

The cluster layout can be changed by using the right
steering wheel controls to open and scroll through the
different displays. There are two main cluster display
configurations to choose from. The information on the
left side of the DIC generally provides battery and
range information and the right side provides driving
efficiency information. The Owner’s Manual provides
additional information about DIC configuration.

Displays
The following two displays are available:
Modern:

5867246

Retains the simplified Battery gauge on the left; and on
the right, shows an efficiency gauge which is a ball with
a leaf graphic. The ball will move up or down to indicate
acceleration or deceleration. The ball will also change
color from yellow to green to indicate efficiency.

Provides a confidence battery gauge on the left, which
gives real-time high and low range estimates. On the
right side is a power gauge which shows the amount of
power flowing from the battery to the drive unit and a
graphic below that shows when energy regeneration
(Regen) is occurring. In the center, an efficiency ring
around the speedometer and DIC display changes from
green to yellow to indicate driving efficiency.

Impacts Screen
This screen provides information about the 4 T’s.
Technique, Terrain, Climate and Outside Temperature.
These 4 impacts provide a lot of information to the
driver in regards to energy impacts.

Driving Efficiency
The driving scorecard rates things like driving
technique, climate control usage, terrain and outside
temperature. The range displayed in the vehicle is a
prediction based on past driving conditions (kWh of
energy used per distance traveled), current ambient
temperature, and climate control settings. It is normal
for the displayed value to adjust while the vehicle is
being driven as this number is constantly being
recalculated to provide the best estimate of electric
range. The 2022 Bolt EV and EUV provides two helpful
graphic displays in the center stack energy screen, or
“leaf screen”.

History Screen
This screen shows overall efficiency history over the
last 50 miles (80 Km) with the dotted line indicating the
average.

Electronic Drive Unit Push Button
Shifter

Bulletin No.: 21-NA-141

One-pedal mode does not eliminate the need to use the
brake pedal altogether, especially in emergency
situations. Progressively stronger levels of regenerative
braking are employed in all Bolt EV and EUV driving
through a series of four driver-selectable modes as
follows:
1. Operating in D and easing off the accelerator.
2. Operating in D and using the Regen on
Demand™paddle on the back of the steering
wheel. The Regen on Demand™ steering wheel
paddle allows the driver to initiate the regeneration
process and capture kinetic energy, which slows
the vehicle and restores energy to the battery.
3. Operating in D with OPD turned ON and easing off
the accelerator.
4. Operating in D with OPD turned ON and using the
Regen on Demand™ paddle in tandem.
• Number 1 above, provides the lowest level of
regenerative braking and requires the use of the
brake pedal to bringthe vehicle to a complete stop.
• Numbers 2-4 above, are progressively stronger
one-pedal driving modes that in certain driving
situations allow a driver to stop the vehicle without
using the brake pedal.
• When in OPD mode, the rear brake lights
illuminate automatically and stay lit even after the
car comes to a complete stop.

Other Important One-Pedal Mode
Characteristics
OPD will not function if the battery is fully or near fully
charged, and/or if the battery itself is very cold. This is
normal to avoid damage to the high-voltage battery.
Below are screen shots from the “Modern” IPC layout,
“Enhanced” IPC layout is similar.

Electronic Drive Unit Push Button Shifter
Overview
The electronic shifter features a push / pull button
operation. Park is a button push, Reverse is a button
pull, Neutral is a button push, Drive is a button pull.
Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the new
layout of the push / pull button shifter assembly. NOTE:
There is no “L” selection with the new ’22 EV / EUV.

One-Pedal Driving (OPD) Mode
At the bottom of the push / pull button shifter is a button
that turns on One Pedal Driving mode. The use of OPD
helps the vehicle generate and capture greater
amounts of energy that is used to charge the high
voltage battery during deceleration. OPD remains
engaged over key cycles.

Car Wash Mode
When using an automatic car wash with the driver in
the vehicle, the vehicle can be placed into car wash
mode by simply pressing the “N” button. When this
happens, the rear wiper and rain sense wipers are
automatically disabled. If you need to exit the vehicle,
refer to the Owner’s Manual for a more detailed
procedure.

Electronic Park Brake (EPB)
The electronic park brake system takes place of the
manual park brake system. The EPB switch is located
towards the right bottom of the push / pull button shifter.
In the event of a loss of 12V power, the EPB cannot be
set or released. If that happens, the best option is to try
to jump start the vehicle to provide enough power to the
EBCM to allow the EPB to be released.

Regen indicator is “green” and “green arrows” spin
around icon = Regen is active.

Regen and One-Pedal Driving with a Fully
Charged Battery
You can manually adjust the target charge level of the
high-voltage battery in the energy screen. If you set the
max charge level downward, this will ensure there is
ample capacity in the battery to receive charging
generated by the vehicle when Regen is active.
