Are there any benefits with battery preconditioning when charging at home (Level 2, 9-10 kW).
ChatGPT thinks so, but she does know Lucid. Plus her arguments aren’t too convincing, like her claim of more efficient. I hadn’t notice any efficiency or speed differences with home garage charging with varying ambient temperatures.
Getting the car battery to a comfortable temperature, which ChatGPT says is <80F in the summer (what would be the winter threshold?), may be an argument. But is it worth the energy and thought expenditure? I am interested in maximizing battery lifespan, without wasting energy.
I started to let the battery rest for 30-60min after coming home before charging. Is that a energy-free alternative to preconditioning?
