Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Park the Bolt EV at the location you want the vehicle to recognize as Home.
- 02
From the infotainment Home screen, select Energy, then Charging, Charging Options and Location Based Charging.
- 03
Choose Set Home Location and accept the confirmation; the menu changes to Update Home Location.
- 04
Return to the Location Based Charging screen and switch the feature On.
- 05
Configure the home charge mode, target and Level 1 cord limit as needed; away from Home, verify the vehicle uses the intended plug-in behavior.
Important limits
- The display shows dashes when GPS is unavailable, so location-based behavior may not apply until location data returns.
- The manual says the home charge-level preference is stored for up to 90 days and must then be reset after the notification.
- Never select a 12-amp Level 1 cord limit unless a qualified electrician has confirmed the outlet and circuit can safely support it.
Quick checks.
- ✓If home settings do not apply, park at Home with GPS available and use Update Home Location.
- ✓If the vehicle reverts to the reduced 8-amp cord limit, verify Location Based Charging is on and the current location is recognized as Home.
- ✓If a 90-day notice appears, review and save the home charge-level preference again.
