Ford's Important Tip For Driving Your Lightning in the Cold: Preconditioning / Pre-Heat Your Battery

[Hugh_Bris]

If they would give us a way to do it on the fly and not have to schedule it with the scheduler, I'd be happy to do it. But I leave the house at unpredictable times and there is no way (that I am aware of), to precondition on the fly, say one hour before leaving. Or am I missing something?

I am in the same boat. Good point

We've discovered that using your [START] aka "Charge now" button while plugged in and the weather conditions are cold, battery warming will occur, even if your SOC has reached its goal.

Then as you get closer to actual leave time and you want the cabin warmed hit the [FAN icon] button warm up the cab.

If you are not plugged in this technique won't work.
