May be a silly question, but how did you preheat the battery?Good point. I’ll preheat battery today and go out for a test drive and see. SoC is 46%.
ICE cars have more horsepower in cold air - denser with more oxygen to burn.Just jumped in to move mine this morning, 1C was the temp. 85% charge and the power meter looked well down below 95%. At a guess would’ve said more like 75-80% ?. I guess ICE cars perform differently according to the weather too but the variation isn’t as much as that!
I know ? I love taking my older cars out when it’s colder. I was trying to console myself, that ICE cars do have similar weather related performance fluctuations, but they’re just nowhere near as big.ICE cars have more horsepower in cold air - denser with more oxygen to burn.
Thanks. Thought it may have been independent to the cabin pre-heat.When you preheat the car the battery is warmed. At an outside temperature of 1c the battery is heated to approx 10c after 12 mins and of course the cabin is nice and warm! You can preheat from the Porsche Connect app or from the PCM.
No specific selection to pre-heat the batteries. Warming or cooling the interior before departing uses energy from the batteries and pre-heats them, more if you are not plugged into a charger.Thanks. Thought it may have been independent to the cabin pre-heat.
So I assume if you don’t pre-heat the car prior to driving but start driving the battery warms up because the cabin is warming and in turn, by consequence or specifically, warming the batteries?
First BEV (owned plenty of Porsches though) so steep learning curve for me!
Thanks.
