Yes Tesla and other EV companies “precondition” prior to charging at temperature extremes but the “precondition” can derive it's power from the charger and not require the battery. The elephant in the room is being conveniently ignored here.
Managed Electric Vehicle Charging
Electric Vehicle Grid Impact Analysis and Smart-Charge Management
Integrated EV smart charging can improve grid reliability by more effectively utilizing renewable energy, shaving peak electricity demand, and supporting and maintaining power quality while still meeting the needs of EV drivers.
Equitable Electric Vehicle Adoption
Using tools,
such as the EV Infrastructure for Equity Model, helps develop smart-charge management algorithms that support more equitable and just EV adoption and infrastructure deployment.

Cold snap, high electric needs EV charging shut off.
I can't break it down any simpler but you folks have spent $50,000.00 plus to let the same folks that forced you to take a unproven medication to keep your job to control who, where, when and if you can drive your car.
