As the temperature gets cooler around the country (CA mainly excluded), a lot of us that are trying to use EV only miles are preconditioning while still plugged into the grid.
The Volt preconditions/remote starts for 10 minutes. You can do it twice. It can be done via the FOB/RKE but you can do it from the mobile app and myvolt.com site
I'm wondering for comparisons how the LEAF and Volt handle preconditioning on 220|240v L2 and 110|120v L1.
ie. how much kW is used during the timed precond and then how much time is used to recharge
ie. how much a 2nd precondition differs from the 1st one if done say 20 minutes or whatever later.
I have zero/0 interest in negativity comparisons between the two so let me be clear about that. I'm not trying to prove anything or have any motive beside curiosity and understanding.
I have zero/0 interest in talking about my electrical usage in my house (work in progress).
Using TED 5000 to remote start / precondition the Chevrolet Volt on SPX 220v charger. 1st 10 minutes took 5 minutes to recover and 2nd 10 minuts took 2 minutes to recover (cabin already warm?)
