I strange thing happened this morning in that the pre-climate conditioning turned on at its preset time even though our RAV4 EV was not plugged in. I was under the impression that the preclimate would work only when the RAV4 is plugged in and over 50% SOC. I am wondering if there is some sort of bug in the timer code. Has anyone else ever encountered this issue?
On a side note my wife has been asking me if the pre-climate uses the actual traction battery when it runs (even if it is plugged in) since the range has been diminished when using the pre-climate. I was always under the impression the pre-climate used the power from the EVSE. After this strange issue I am wondering if the pre-climate is just running off of the traction battery even when it is plugged in.
