A too low temperature of the battery limits the fast-charging power achievable (cold gating). To counter this, modern EVs have the capability to automatically pre-heat the battery ahead of a planned fast-charging stop. This requires the use of the built-in navigation software and doesn't work automatically when navigating with ABRP. However, on some EVs (e.g. Nissan Ariya) it is possible to manually activate the battery heater. It would be great if ABRP could be configured to automatically display a reminder to turn on the heater. This reminder could be fully automated by ABRP on car models that support manual heater activation, either based on the real-time battery temperature read from OBD or just based on the outside air temperature. Of course, there should also be a manual configuration option so that ABRP users could override the default settings.
