EDIT: To reflect that the battery pre-conditioning update has been available in Canada since at least april 18th.
You may want skip ahead to post 38 or even as far as post 51.
========================================================
There are plenty of messages in other sections of the forums from the EU, Netherlands, Germany, and USA about getting, or not getting, battery pre-conditioning. However, little has been discussed in this Canadian forum about the situation in Canada.
I think that Kia Canada owes me the software update which allows rapid charging of my vehicle (according to Kia's own documents) from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes. Kia never specified Winter or Summer. This was a major reason for me to choose purchasing this vehicle. And it is not hardware replacement, just a software update done by the dealer.
It turns out that Canadian Ioniq5 owners will be getting the update in the first quarter of 2023 - video link below.
Since the EV6 and Ioniq5 are sister vehicles built on the same E-GMP platform, and since MY22 EV6s in other countries are getting the update it seems reasonble to me that Canadian MY22 EV6s should also get the update, just like the post July MY23 EV6s have and which are being delivered to owners now..
Its Winter here! We should already have had battery-preconditioning.
Canadian EV6 owners need to take similar actions to what Ioniq5 owners did in order to get the pre-conditioning update. Read the Ioniq5 forum:

Canadian owners unite for pre-conditioning!
Note: I posted this on reddit. Re-posting here to try to get to as many 2022 Canadian owners as possible Wanted to put a call out for all Canadian owners of the 2022 Ioniq that care about the lack of the battery pre-conditioning update coming to Canada to start making noise by emailing Hyundai...
