I have read the manual and heard comments here about warming or cooling the interior before you drive the car. If the car is sitting out and not plugged in, this activity will surely cost you some EV range. My question is: what if your Volt is plugged in to your level-2 charger, is now completly charged, and you use your Android AP to "condition the interior"? Will the 240 volt charger handle this task without using any of your charge?:o

No it will not. The energy to Pre-Condition the cabin will still come from the main traction battery but at the same time it will accept a charge from the 240v EVSE.

I guess I knew that. What I meant was; can the 240 volt charger keep up with the demand on the battery during pre-conditioning. If the battery was fully charged before pre-conditioning, will it still be fully charged after that event, or will you have lost some charge?

I pre-condition all the time and have even had the vehicle heating the interior for 3 hours while I was playing with the radio (trying to dolwnload music and get the songs to play in the right order) At the end the battery was still at 100%. The temperature was 30F. The instructions recommend pre-conditioning with the vehicle plugged in to maintain maximum range. Although I am using the voltec charger, it should probably work on 120 Volts also.
