But, what if you pre-condition the cabin/battery pack while plugged into your 240v charger at home? That should help with regards to range and comfort?
If I put the timer on for pre conditioning it is warm and nearly fully charged when I get in my car in a not heated garage. I use the basic 240V charger. Range is also better ( warm battery and energy sed for heating the cabin is recharged) If you want to pre condition the battery and the cabin you need to program at least some time before departure (3h I think)
