How to Know if Your Chevy Bolt is Charging
When charging your Chevy Bolt, there are several indicators and methods to determine if the vehicle is actively charging:
Charging Status Indicator Light:
– The Chevy Bolt features a charging status indicator light that provides visual feedback during the charging process. This light typically illuminates when charging begins and may change color or behavior to indicate different charging states or conditions. For example, a small red light may indicate that the alarm system is active, serving as an additional security feature for the vehicle .
Audible Feedback:
– When the Chevy Bolt is plugged in and charging, it may emit audible feedback, such as a beep or chirp, to signal the start of the charging process. The number of chirps or the specific sound may vary and provide additional information about the charging status.
In-Vehicle Energy App Settings:
– The Chevy Bolt’s in-vehicle energy app allows for customization of various charging settings, including the option to turn charging status feedback horn chirps on or off. This feature enables users to control whether the vehicle emits audible feedback during the charging process.
These indicators and features provide users with multiple ways to confirm that their Chevy Bolt is actively charging, offering both visual and audible cues to monitor the charging status.
