...what? You leave your car plugged in, and that's it. Then the BMS will take care of the battery without having to use it's energy.

If I preheat the car it also preheats the battery. If it's not warm enough it won't allow full recuperation. Oh my god, I have to use THE BRAKES for a few minutes, literal trash car.

And all those people in Norway, you know, with their heat pumps and EVs. Obviously life just grinds to a halt there every winter. *dramatic eye roll

Cool. And when you need to drive it? Most systems do not keep the battery heater running indefinitely.

No one is talking about the brakes.

I’m an automotive engineer that has worked for two of the big4. What is your experience?
