In all this talk about whether warming the battery before driving helps with range, I haven't noticed a discussion about warming the battery before charging. The owner's manual states
That statement would seem to indicate that the temperature of the battery at the time of charging is also a factor with the range one can expect. It seems that the battery can hold more charge with warmer ambient temperatures. Can anyone verify that?
Thanks,

When the ambient temperature is 32F
(0C) or less, charging time may be
longer than normal and the level to
which the Li-ion battery can be charged
may be less than at higher temperatures.
