Hi, first time contributor here ...
Am generally very happy with my new EV3, but a few things are bothering me about the clarity of information in the app and interface.
I have only had to charge the car once since collection but, when I look in the app (Status) it says all the time that "Battery conditioning is recommended".
My understanding is that this is only something that needs to be done immediately before charging. Is that the case or is this something that should be done 'pre drive'?
Just before I planned to charge the car at home (and while driving), I activated the battery conditioning in the "EV" area of the settings (which in itself was a little silly as, once you press "activate" the button still remains pressable) but, despite still having close to 10 minutes of driving time while this was activated, the battery temperature remained low.
Wouldn't it make sense for Kia to show how long it will take to get the battery up to temperature? Does anybody here know how much time you should factor in if activating this manually?
Also, is conditioning necessary if you're planning to charge at home and are not in a rush?
Thanks in advance.
