I mean, it could use the same logic that’s already built for departure time preconditioning. The car estimates how much time it needs to heat the battery to a certain temp by the time you leave. The temp for en route preconditioning is higher, but the logic should be the same.Agree. The target temp for DCFC should be 25°C and it should calculate how early to start so the battery is at that temp when you arrive. If the battery starts at 0°C, it will likely take 1+ hour of en route heating to get it up to 25°C.
The 18.6 mi threshold is only going to give you about 15 minutes of warming at freeway speed, which might be fine if it’s 65°F outside, but when it’s 20°F outside that’s not nearly enough and it will still coldgate. It seems simple enough to write a quick program that looks at battery temp difference from 25°C and outputs a range threshold based on the temp difference.
