> Bruce Westlake, president of the Eastern Michigan Electric Vehicle Association, said most EVs are programmed to warm the battery if the driver tells vehicle’s navigation system that a trip to the charging station is coming.
> Many of those who think their cars won’t charge are new to EVs and don’t know how to “precondition” their batteries, said Westlake, who has two Teslas.
> “They’re just learning,” he said. “And Tesla isn’t very good at explaining some things.”
(And if you get to the charging station, without having pre-warmed the battery, then it's not gonna go so well.)
