EDIT: am i understanding it correctly that Remote Start (actual start of the ICE) is not a feature on the 45e? preconditioning/climatize has essentially replaced it?
Yes, on the 45e pre-conditioning replaces Remote start: it does not start the ICE because it doesn’t need to start the ICE nor use the ICE to do pre-conditioning since climate control uses the high voltage battery, not the ICE...
