At-Home Charging Options

With the complementary 20-ft. 7.7kW dual-level charging cord included with your purchase of this electric SUV, you can replenish roughly 21 miles of range every hour³ by plugging it into a socket that is akin to what a fridge or dryer uses. While this may be sufficient for those who use this model to drive to the local grocery store, you may want to consider opting for the separately sold GM Energy Powershift Charger if you commute to your workplace frequently. Doing so expedites the powering-up process significantly, given that this method of Level 2 240V charging has the capability to restore up to 51 miles of range per hour⁴.

Public Charging Options
