How does preconditioning work?

[ionmarz]

A bit confused about preconditioning. Does it activate automatically when the battery level falls below a certain level, even after charging has stopped?

What level are you on?

Nope! It activates based on the temperature, not on the battery level alone. Of course, you have to schedule it!

If you’ve scheduled a departure time and are connected to the EVSE, preconditioning should automatically start, regardless of the state of charge. But what could cause it to stop?
