I recently did that but I did not have the AC on and my Battery Thermal Management did NOT come on when the car was on.. The "correct" way to do what you want to do is to start the charge and then use your bluelink app to start the AC. This will start the AC without turning the car "on"
Thanks for the info.
Noting that in less-stifling times of year you can leave the car 'on' as you wish while charging for your comfort. For some reason many chargers tell you to turn the car off but I think that's just to release them from liability. I think we are just learning about how a hot battery is or isn't cooled and more community experience and input is required.
That makes sense, the 100 degrees part shouldn't be an issue in your neck of the woods.
Thermal management was running during the entire session today.. The first charger shut off again after a while but thermal management was on.. Tried the charger beside the one that gave me problems and the 2nd one worked perfect for the rest of the session.. Dash and charger showed about 2.5kw higher than Torque Pro, so I assume that the Thermal management pulled 2.5kw. Intake air temperature went as cool as 64 degrees.. Outside temperature was 92F (33 C)That makes sense, the 100 degrees part shouldn't be an issue in your neck of the woods.
