Keen to hear others' views and experiences on this. I can only report that when we connect to charge in very cold weather, well below freezing, our Renault Zoe runs its heat pump - which is very definitely audible outside the car - for several minutes while the car continues to indicate that it's "negotiating" with the EVSE. This is presumably to warm the battery before it starts the charge.
It doesn't often get that cold here, so I've only seen this a couple of times. I haven't noticed whether the car derives the energy for the heating from the EVSE or from the battery. I hope it's the former. David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
