If the car is connected to the charger (7KW) but has completed it's charge and then I turn on the cabin heater remotely, does the heater run from the battery or the mains?


Edit..

I can answer my own question, as I tried it tonight
It does heat from the mains

My car was sat at "charging stopped", at the 90% that I’d set it to

I turned on the windscreen blower via the app, on the charging screen it showed “Charging” 3.5KW

It that because it’s using the battery for heating so dropping the battery level which kicks in the charging?
