Battery Pre-Heat & Overnight Electric Tariff
Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2023 5:30 pm
Hi everyone,
I’m currently with Octopus Go where they have the discounted electricity rate between 12:30 and 04:30. The schedule is controlled via my PodPoint charger too and not via the Cupra app.
I’m wondering how would the Cupra battery pre-heating work via the app schedule?
If I’ve understood correctly; setting a pre-heat for say 8am won’t work as the PodPoint charger knows not to provide any power between these times?
Or by pre-heating; are people simply heating the car via the app but not keeping the car connected to the charger?
Many thanks in advance.
