The site also is a portal for owners to see vehicle charge status, indicating whether the car is plugged in or not, and at what voltage; shows percentage of battery charge level and expected electric and total ranges; displays miles per gallon, electric only miles, odometer readings and miles driven for last trip; and remotely starts the vehicle to pre-condition the interior temperature.
Chevrolet says the site will let Volt owners manually set grid-friendly charge modes for off-peak times when electricity rates are lowest and send text or email notifications for charge reminders, interruptions of charging and when a full charge is complete.
The new site also links Chevrolet Volt owners direct to social media channels like Facebook and Twitter facilitating the immediate sharing of information like energy efficiency, driving history, rate/charging details and other vehicle operational attributes to their personal social network.
