Preheat

EV preheating warms the cabin, battery or both before the vehicle starts its journey. Many EVs allow this to be scheduled or started remotely. When the vehicle is plugged in, cabin conditioning can use external electricity rather than drawing all of the energy from the traction battery after departure. Battery preconditioning is a more specific term for controlling battery temperature to improve charging or driving performance.
