How calculated

17.5 kWh/100 km x $0.12/kWh / 100 = $0.02/km

Formula: kWh/100 km x electricity price per kWh / 100 = cost per km.

This estimates driving energy only, not total ownership cost. Actual fuel or electricity cost varies with prices, weather, driving, energy-source mix, and vehicle condition.

Vehicle charging

NRCan-listed recharge time
7.5 hours

NRCan defines this as the estimated time to fully recharge the battery at 240 volts. The imported NRCan value does not specify charging power, connector, or a detailed starting and ending battery percentage. This is not a DC fast-charging estimate.

Daily driving and fast-charging reach

Round-trip outbound limit209 kmMaximum outbound distance while retaining the same distance for the return trip.
Typical one-way commute in British Columbia9 km
Confirmed native-compatible DC fast chargers in province517 locations ยท 1284 exact compatible ports

The rated electric range equals approximately 24.5 typical provincial commute days. This is a statistical comparison, not a prediction of how often an individual driver should charge.

No manufacturer-approved DC adapter has been verified for this exact configuration.

Map distances

Range planning notice: The displayed reach starts with the vehicleโ€™s listed rated range and is an estimate, not a guarantee. Real-world range can be reduced by driving speed and style, traffic, route and elevation, cold or hot weather, wind, rain or snow, cabin heating and air conditioning, passenger or cargo load, towing, tire type and pressure, battery age and condition, and starting charge. The circles show straight-line distance rather than driving distance; roads, detours, charger availability and a safe arrival reserve can further reduce how far you should plan to travel. Confirm your route, conditions, remaining charge and charging options before departure. Charging-station availability is not real-time.

What Transport Canada reports

Issue: On certain vehicles, the instrument panel may not have been manufactured correctly. As a result, the passenger-front airbag may not open and inflate properly in a crash. Safety Risk: An airbag that doesn't inflate properly could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the instrument panel. To reduce the safety risk until the recall repairs are completed, General Motors recommends not to transport a person in the front-passenger seat.

This connector is reported by the permissively licensed OpenEV dataset and has not yet been independently verified against an official Canadian document for this exact configuration.

Ratings and recall records are provided for research and comparison. A rating does not guarantee protection in every crash, and a model-level recall match does not confirm whether a specific VIN is affected.
