Cold-weather tips

Like its Blazer EV sibling, preconditioning triggers on a mapped fast-charger destination, not just plugging in.
- 2
Schedule departure while plugged in
Warm the cabin and battery from wall power before your commute.
- 3
Favor seat heat over cabin heat
Contact heat costs far less range on short trips.
- 4
Garage it when possible
Reduces the overnight cold-soak penalty in sub-zero regions.
