I guess I'm assuming that at this point:I dont think the MME will heat or cool the battery while parked unplugged so the expended range battery won't help you at all.
it was using the battery to protect itself. I think Tesla's do this. My understanding is that cold temporarily reduces the battery capacity. Heat can actually damage the battery.This is because the vehicle will run the A/C compressor and circulate battery coolant through the chiller to keep the pack from overheating.
And yes it is my first EV. I just now realized your in Phoenix too! Howdy neighbor.Is this going to be your first EV? You are going to love the A/C here in Phoenix. Works excellent with minimal range penalty. Your range will be MUCH more reduced in the winter when using cabin heat compared to summer with A/C on high. That was another thing that surprised me about these things. Pleasant surprise though...
