heater while charging

[miamor]

Hi winter driver, is it complicated to get heat while charging by using Energy Manager and Departure time? Only once so far has it worked. Well, that once was when I came back to car 4 hours later at the departure time. It was toasty inside and I felt heat only coming from the long vent on top of dashboard.
Other times I was in car testing it and set departure time 10 minutes from then with temperature in Emgr settings at 80F.
I read something in the Emgr section of car manual stated 85F was some cutoff. So this last time I set the temperature in Emgr settings to 86F. Who knows more about this?

I use pre-heating all the time. Give the car at least 30 minutes prior to departure time also, use at least a L2 connection so you don’t drain the battery.

Hello,

Indeed, the preheating is very effective. I would also advise you to do this.

I think the battery won't be used if you un-check the box in Emgr>Settings>use battery for climate
