Hello all, sorry for the basic questions here, this is my first EV.
Ford is pushing the departure times feature as a way to maximize your battery life.
Is this just so it is drawing from the grid for air-conditioning/heating, or is the car doing something under the hood with the batteries as well that is important for mileage? Is it bad for the battery to run on cold cells if you leave it outside on a cold winters day while out for dinner and don't prestart the car while you're paying the check?
I don't have a set schedule so the departure times isn't really useful to me, but I need to know how important it is to remote start my car before I'm leaving. Will you see the effects 8 years down the road if you habitually don't precondition the car?
