Control Your Chevy Volt Over The Internet

Electric Car To Feature Online Updates, Charging Reminders and Much More

GM and Onstar's partnership is bringing automobile interaction to a new level.  Chevy Volt drivers will be able to control all types of functions with the new MyVolt.com, which also has a social media tie in and will be available as a mobile app. 

One of the website’s key features is the ability to schedule the times at which the Volt will charge from grid power.  Volts can also be instructed to charge only during off-peak hours (when electricity is cheaper), or to ensure charging is complete by a predetermined departure time. 

Volt owner’s can also published to Twitter or Facebook feed with myvolt.com. The updates detail the distance driven, fuel economy, amount of electricity used, and other statistics.  Plus users can join the "Voltage Community" and interact with other Volt drivers. 

MyVolt.com also allows owners to view their Volt’s battery charge level, charging status, fuel economy, odometer reading, electric-only range, and more. Owners can lock or unlock the car, activate the lights or horn, and remotely start the climate-control system so the cabin is cooled (or heated) before a journey.
