Well saw a new charging curve today in the New Car,
Winter Mode is turned off in Settings, it was 13c outside, Battery was at 13c when I arrived at a 50Kw Rapid charger..
Plugged in car showed charging at 43kw on Screen, but EVNotify showed 40kw, so a 3kw loss... Car making a buzzing so a pump running,
Within a couple of mins the coolant temp went from 13c to 25c at which point the pump shut down and the charge on car and evnotify both went to 46kw.
In all the charges we did in the old car never ever saw the coolant heating in action, and was not expecting to in this mild weather, so wonder if its the new car or the new software, and the Resistive battery heater is there and working thats for sure.
Which is great as it allowed the car to throttle up to 46 / 47kw a lot earlier than if just letting the battery heat naturally.
