Preheating of battery

Feature Requests

It would be nice if ABRP could start preheating of the battery some time before arrival to a charger. Some cars support this via API so it could be started automatically but if that’s not possible it could also be a notification to start preheating for the cars that support manual preheating

    Hi @Katya Skog

    I my case it would be a Peugeot E-5008 but the function should be for all brands. For starters it could be a toggle in the options to get a notification to preheat the battery XX minutes before arriving at a fast-charger.
    Then later it could be extended to be automatic on cars that support preheating via API

      A generic “start precondition now for optimal charging time” notification would be nice, about 15-30 minutes before destination arrival. I have to plug a destination into my car’s nav to start it up, this would be a nice reminder.
