The Climate Control Plan doesn't use the charging station even when fully connected. The car uses the battery for pre-heating.
In the evening, I connect the car to the Charging Station (CS), the car charges to the 80% target and the car stops charging.
I usually set the CS to 2.5 kW.
After charging, the CS's application displays this message: "Car stopped charging. Charging allowed".
The Climate Control Plan instructs the car to pre-heat Monday to Friday at 8:15 with a target of 20 C.
When the heating happens, the car doesn't use any power from the CS, the car heats itself up only from the battery.
The CS's application displays the "Car stopped charging. Charging allowed" message for the entire time the cars heats up using the battery.
Q: Why does the car heat itself up only from the battery and not use the CS at all?
This process has worked before with my VW Passat GTE PHEV.
When the GTE heated up in the morning, the CS's app was showing power going to the car like when the car was charging.
The CS's app doesn't know what the car uses the power for.
