Ok, that makes a bit more sense, especially since I have not owned an EV.

> Pre-heating an EV cabin before departing

Cars have been doing this for a years now with a keyfob. But I suppose over network/cell gives you greater range.

I would have thought that'd be a feature of the charger, not the car, but not an EV owner so maybe I'm just wrong here. That does make more sense for an app, but also sounds like a feature that could work fine without one too.

Useful if you're charging in the parking lot at your work, or at a mall or whatever.
