Preheating the cabin sucks a lot of juice

[jpk]

Just turned on my cabin preheating whilst charging, charging app states 7.1kw draw, I always lose 10% so the mg app would show approx 6.4kw charging rate but was surprised to see the battery recieving 2 kw less meaning all that's going into heating the car! On a good note though it's the first time I've ever tried doing it whilst charging and I had no issues and it's still charging.

I currently park in a heated underground car park for two weeks of the month: yesterday went to the shops and cabin and battery were at 20C even though the outside temp was a balmy 5.
4 miles per kWh from start ?

Charged from the zappi last night, charge complete by breakfast time and all charge socket lights out. Left the zappi connected and tried cabin heat fome the app, all OK, green lights came back on for 10 minutes, car nicely warm. It never used to allow cabin heating while plugged in with a full charge, looks like about 3.5 kW draw from the zappi. Happy days, an update that worked!
