Weather here in the morning around 30F. I was charging the car with scheduling charge and was close to the departure time. I had set the car to precondition the car around 8 AM. I noticed in the car app that the car was charging at 32 AMP/230V but only at 3 miles an hour. I stopped the charging and I noticed that it was preconditioning the car, I'm assuming that was the reason of charging as so low mileages.
I assumed that when charging, the car did not need preconditioning since the battery would be warm from charging.
Two questions: Is it ok to charge while it is trying to preconditioning and will it do something bad to the battery by doing so?
Cost wise, it looks to me that I'm using 32 amp to only charge at 3 miles/hr. That is not an effective way to keep cost down, correct?
