DETROIT – OnStar on Wednesday will announce the launch of MyVolt.com, a new website that will give Chevrolet Volt owners the ability to remotely access information specific to their vehicle and control various functions of their car.
The new website uses a real-time data connection to enhance the overall Volt ownership experience. It allows owners to perform tasks from checking their battery’s state of charge to setting the charge time to unlocking the doors. It also:
Displays charge status, indicating whether the car is plugged in or not, and at what voltage (120V or 240V)
Provides flexibility to ?Charge Now? or schedule charging at a later time
Displays 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
Remotely starts the vehicle to pre-condition the interior temperature
This technology is just one of the ways OnStar is using the Smart Grid to help owners manage energy consumption.
