BATTERY PRECONDITIONING ON MY GENESIS GV60 ROCKS! HERE'S HOW AND WHY TO USE IT

EV Channels Review

Dave from Out of Spec Dave thoroughly tests the battery preconditioning feature on his 2023 Genesis GV60. He confirms the feature is present and functional, noting its activation via an amber coil icon next to the state of charge. The primary benefit highlighted is improved charging speeds, especially in colder temperatures, by ensuring the battery pack reaches an optimal temperature range (21-27°C) before charging. While the preconditioning worked as intended, Dave experienced disappointing charging speeds at the EA station, suspecting issues with the charging units themselves rather than the car's performance. He concludes that battery preconditioning is a valuable feature for EV road trips, enhancing both range and charging speed, and recommends enabling it even in milder climates. The software could potentially be tuned to initiate preconditioning slightly sooner for maximum benefit.
