Today I attempted to precondition to a EA DC fast charger in the driveway for ~30min before I left, and on the drive
My battery temperature was ~40°F on departure, and the truck sat out last night unplugged.
I then reset the EA location in Ford nav as my destination and drove. Then coolant heater never kicked on, and the battery never got above 50°F.
At no time was I farther than 18min and 9 miles from the charger.
I arrived with 28% SoC, and charged slower than typically expected. The coolant heater came on when connected to the charger, and speeds increased after ~6 minutes
At no point in the driveway or on the drive did the battery warm more than 3°F from the initial temperature, nor did the coolant heater come one.
Leaving the driveway:
Charging started:
28% SoC
126kW output
50°F battery
9kW coolant heater
~70°F coolant inlet
After 6 minutes:
43% SoC
152kW output
66°F battery
8kW coolant heater
~109°F coolant inlet
13 minutes of charging:
Battery above 90°F, and coolant heater off
