Important limits

  • Battery preconditioning targets DC charging performance; it is separate from cabin heating or cooling.
  • A vehicle built with older software may require an update before the app control appears.
  • Final charging speed also depends on charger output, battery state of charge and ambient conditions.
If it does not work
