Is there any way to put a charger stop in to the nav without having the car preheat the battery?

Sometimes I put multi day trips in to the nav as a way of getting better estimates on charge - quite important if you’re going to use camp mode (for example) and burn a lot of power overnight then have to drive to your next stop next day - but if one of those stops is a charger it causes the car to start heating the battery immediately, when I know I won’t be charging for hours yet.

Can you turn off pre-heating? I’ve tried dismissing the box that informs you it’s happening but based on the sounds from the car I don’t think that stops the process, just removes the notification.

The work around is to plot a route near to the charger but not to the charger, but it’s a bit clumsy.
