Hi,

I'd like to make more use of the pre-entry climate option this winter but am concerned that it will just eat up too much of my battery charge before I even set off? I've had no problem activating the pre-entry climate control from the app.

If I activate this when the car is plugged in and charging (7kw charger at home), when the car is warmed will it go back to charging again? Or does it just leave your battery short of whatever it took to warm up the car?

Thanks!
 
Interesting question. I lost 5% of charge just warming the car up from 50 degrees to 68 degrees this morning. That is about 1.2 kW.

I would have thought the car could be charging and discharging at the same time, as I was sitting at a public charging spot doing work and had the car powered up.
