My 2022 does spontaneous battery conditioning at the command of the BMS, several times this week it's been around the 6 to 7 am time frame when it's coldest. When this happens Fordpass displays that the cabin & battery are being prepared.

Sunday afternoon charging session for 13 kWh, put a lot of heat in the pack, so there was no need to add more heat early or late Monday, the power output limiter was still at 100%

Then early Tuesday a little after 2 am it did a 2 kWh warming session, that afternoon another when I plugged in for the night, another 2 kWh.

Wednesday morning 4 to 5 am another brief session pulling 1.9 kWh

I apologize if this has already been addressed in this thread, but my question is... If the only way we currently have to precondition the battery for charging is through navigating to a DCFC and I decide NOT to purchase a third rate product (the Ford navigation).

How will I precondition my battery in the future?

Possible answer: Ford, give us a way to manually precondition our battery for charging.
This!
Would love a button on charging screen that you push say 10-15 miles from a location your planning to DCFC.

I'd like this too, if I were to get the Google maps update.

Not on a 2022. No preconditioning with Ford nav either. Can't speak to later years.

Hey, but you can sing along with Karaoke while your waiting on your cold battery to charge.
