    Kia Soul EV winter weather.

    Indeed. I can see it being a big battery drain for somebody like OP, but would be nice to have the option. I was looking at a M-B GLE 550e and battery permitting it would let the timer pre-heat even if not charged. But it's also a hybrid so you can still start and go even if the pre-heat...

    Kia Soul EV winter weather.

    Now that it's getting cold in the morning down here in the GTA I've set up the climate timer to come on 30 minutes before setting off on the daily commute.

    Need help with this decision, please?

    Does the Battery Heater only operate while plugged in? Or does it also operate while driving? Otherwise, with no Battery Heater does being plugged in and charging serve as an alternative way to keeping the battery warm? Probably wouldn't help as much as a proper battery heater but would being...

    Need help with this decision, please?

    Indeed, in Canada we get the Battery Heater as standard equipment. On the other hand, the Heat Pump is only available on the "Luxury" trim which includes the a number of other extras over the Base model.
