200 Driving and operating
example, if the vehicle is plugged in
for only one hour prior to the
departure time, and the high voltage
battery is completely discharged, the
vehicle will not be fully charged by the
departure time regardless of the rate
selection.
Also, if the selected electric rate
settings result in a very long charge
completion time, the vehicle will start
charging immediately upon plug-in.
For example, if the electric rate table
is set up with all peak rates and the
rate preference is to charge during
off-peak rates only, then the vehicle
will start charging immediately upon
plug-in.
