Sounds like our situations are similar. Guessing you precondition cabin only for comfort purposes before you leave? So only reason to keep plugged in (assuming no need to charge) is battery temp maintenance? Will the HVB charge the 12V battery when not plugged in? And OTAs don’t need the car plugged in?
Yes, if it's very cold, I'll remote start to heat the cabin for comfort using the free electrons that are in the battery. The HVB will charge the 12V battery if it gets low, which is usually accompanied by an ominous "12V Battery Fault" message that's erroneous. OTAs don't require a plug either.
Hopefully it doesn't blow over. I don't want to imagine the mean dent it would put in the hood.
You didn't see that giant boulder holding it up? ?Hopefully it doesn't blow over. I don't want to imagine the mean dent it would put in the hood.
It gets cold here. We have winter clothes.Reading through this thread, I'm picturing @Kamuelaflyer and @macchiaz-o kicking back on their patios, sipping a cold drink and saying, "Tell me more about these cold temps." Not that I'd do anything like that, nope, not me.
Don’t you put that evil on me.Hopefully it doesn't blow over. I don't want to imagine the mean dent it would put in the hood.
Because, although it looks like a garage, that is actually a workout room with 3 deep freezers full of meat and vegetables.
How are you tracking it. Reason I keep asking questions is I plug mine in all the time. Garage doesn't get below 40. My electric bill went through the roof. Chargepoint app doesn't seem to show the useage for keeping battery temp.
My ChargePoint app does. If your car is pulling any power through the ChargePoint, it should show up in the app.
Does the app only track home charging usage if you have a ChargePoint charger?
It tracks usage of a home ChargePoint charger and commercial ChargePoint chargers that are used elsewhere. But it doesn’t track other brands if that’s what you’re asking.
