As we move into the winter months more and more of us will be depending on preconditioning to maximize our effeciency before traveling. I understand that preconditioning happens when departure times are assigned in fordpass/sync. However, is preconditioning, while utilizing my level 2 charger as to not use any battery power, still happening in the following circumstance?
Car is plugged into Level 2 charging, having just finished a set charge to 90%.
Still plugged in, I've remote started my MME at 10am. The charging window ended at 6am.
How literal is the charging window? Will I still be benefitting from starting and warming up the car, plugged in even outside of the designated charging window? Is it still drawing power from the wall? Or because I've started the car manually outside of the charge window it's warming up only on battery power?
Thanks for your responses.
