The Volt’s on-board computer includes a charge schedule, which means you can program the system to start or stop charging at specific hours of the day; in states like California, for example, electricity is more expensive in the daytime than at night. And like a computer, software upgrades can also be performed through the OnStar system.
Owners can also log onto their personal diagnostics site at MyVolt.com, or download a smartphone application to monitor their car from a distance. The Volt can send messages to warn the owner that the charge has been completed, or that the charge has been interrupted. The owner can also send info logged on his MyVolt.com page through his or her various social media outlets like Facebook.
And that's only the tip of iceberg. Whether it’s being driven or parked, the owner won’t realize just how much is going on in the Volt, because it drives like a normal car.
