The volt has a charge scheduler built into the car. You can tell the car when to start charging. It was built into the car for the exact reason of charging at cheaper rates.

Yup, thanks Balto. Found it last night: On the charging screen, there was a tab called "charging options" which lets you set a charge schedule! You can set it by time of departure, cheapest rates, etc . . . pretty cool the way they have it thought out
Made it home last night in EV mode with 6 miles (of the 30 miles of charge I started with) to spare. Meaning I used 24 miles of charge but actually drove 38 miles. Today I'll reset the trip odometer and see exactly how many miles my current route is, but I used to take this route in Black Widow back in my P&G days, so I think it's the shortest route with the least elevation changes and the least stops.
