    If it’s -20c the car will get just enough of a charge to offset the battery discharging to keep it warm. Lots of places are limited to 120v outlets.

      Lol, can you stop just making things up. It’s like you’ve heard one anti-bev podcast and decided you’re an expert

        Evs have to discharge to keep the battery warm, it can’t freeze. It’s a default feature on ANY EV.

          Yes, but managing the temperature of the battery takes much less than 2.4 kW.
