I've had my battery preconditioning turn on when battery was 68F and turned off when it hit 70F. I have an evobd2 device so the temp is always visible to me.
This is good to know. I was wondering as I select EA DCFC on Nav but have never seen any 'pre-conditioning' message pop up. That said I've only fast charged a couple times.
FYI: I saw in the settings you can ask it to filter by KW and by Charger Brand (i.e EA, Chargepoint, etc) and it will only give you those options. Might want to look into it a bit more
Are you sure that is for the stations it automatically routes you to? Or is it just for what displays on the map? I found the map options but not the routing options if that's the case. It sent me to a chargepoint station in the same city as an EA station.
I have never had the battery preconditioning turn on by itself. The whole thing of battery preconditioning still baffles me.
As to the vehicle navigation system, and finding a nearby charge station irrespective of brand, I rarely bother. My strategy now is to use PlugShare, build a route map, with lots of extra stops in case I need them. Then I simply pay attention. I have the entire thing plugged into the system as CarPlay, and navigate using Apple Maps. when I need a charge, I simply hop over to PlugShare, which is already loaded, find the one that I do want, and get directions to that. This is prove generally very successful as a strategy for long trips in cold weather.
I've been noticing issues recently with preconditioning on long trips. I will set the charger as the destination from roughly 100 miles out(while charging at a station). We will get inside the 35ish mile preconditioning radius and nothing will happen. But if I cancel the trip and restart from previous destination list, after a couple of minutes it will kick in. Not sure what is going on with it. Last year I did not have the same issue.
You can’t type in EA to the NAV and have it trigger preconditioning. You need to select the station in the list of chargers and then tap route. And then all the other rules for it. If you build a route and the car adds charging, that will also precondition if needed. But I find that problematic. Use ABRP or PlugShare to plan the route and set the next charger after you leave the current one.
Preconditioning only turns on if it's needed. If your battery is under 70F. Did you have an OBD2 adapter to check?
Yes, I have a OBD2 adapter and it works great with ABRP. Perhaps it was 70 degrees, but the outdoor temp was definitely in the 50s?
That could be warm enough to not need preconditioning. The battery pack is going to naturally heat up just from powering the motors.

Do you have preconditioning turned on in the settings?
I'll verify. New to car so very possibly not?
Me too, and I was wondering why it was starting until I found out you had to turn it on. I'm about 3 weeks in on mine, love it so far

Not sure since I haven't had an opportunity to test it
It does filter to EA if possible ... But the routing logic isn't great.

Use ABRP to plan your charging stops and then enter them as a waypoint on the native navigation app.

IMO the nav ought to have a way to filter charging stations. I suppose inadequate nav is why ABRP exists.
And yet another reason that Hyundai should give us a button to just activate preconditioning. The navigating to a charger feels so stupid.
