Preconditioning the battery

[RTB]

My journeys through the winter will be basically local in radius of 20ish miles how long should I precondition the battery and for how long before the journey, and do I do this before charging, all so confusion! Thank you all

I wouldn't bother at all unless you're on your way to a charging station to do a fast charge. However, if it's a chilly morning, it's worth heating the cabin up for 5 minutes from the app before you begin your journey.

Just get in the car and drive it, most of the rest is a distraction. I don't have home charging and have never used the battery heating. I have had no problems charging except for it being a bit slow to ramp up when it's really cold and have had the car for 3 years.
