Hi. I've read partial answers to my question, but can't find anything conclusive.
I've had a '17 spec Juro for three months now and enjoy it enormously. I've had a dedicated home charger installed and do almost all driving in EV. A total convert.
Being a Juro, it doesn't have the pre-heat app. If I turn the heater on manually whilst charging at home, will this drain the battery? I've read somewhere that it would drain it with a 3 pin charger (4w to heat, against just 3w input from the charge?), but what about with the higher power home charger? Similarly, if it is plugged in, but no longer charging because the battery is full, would a pre-heat force the charging to begin again?
I've also read that pressing the start button once or twice (without brake pedal depressed) can make a difference, but not sure if this is relevant to my query.
I realise the colder months are some time away, but as I'm discovering more, it would be handy to know. Pre heating/cooling would be good, but not if it uses up some of the charge.
Many thanks.
I'm not sure if this helps, according to the user manual in section 3-25:
Quote:
When the normal charge connector is connected to the normal charge port, the charging indicator is blinking. When charging is started, the charging indicator is illuminated and the charging port courtesy light blinks three times...(J) appears and the predicted charging time display (K) appears on the information screen in the multi-information display.In addition, when the remaining time is less than 1 hour, the predicted charging time display appears --:--.
So according to the above:
- "If I turn the heater on manually whilst charging at home, will this drain the battery?" If this is true, while charging, the J display, the one showing the battery level icon, will decrease, and the K display, the one showing predicted charging time, will increase
- "what about with the higher power home charger?" < same answer above >
- "Similarly, if it is plugged in, but no longer charging because the battery is full, would a pre-heat force the charging to begin again?" The manual on 3-26 says that "charging is complete when the charging indicator turns off". I assume this means that both J and K displays turn off when charging is complete. By turning the heater on, if this triggers the main-battery charge, J and K displays would turn on again.
I would be interested to know the answers to your questions too.
