Through an over-the-air update, Volkswagen is adding battery preconditioning to earlier ID: models and the first versions of the Skoda Enyaq. Just before winter sets in, these owners can profit from faster charging times in cold conditions. The catch is that it only works manually.<\/p>

When the ID.3, ID.4 and Enyaq arrived in 2020, the MEB platform had an annoying omission. The high-voltage battery could not be preconditioned for fast charging. In cold weather, a chilly battery accepts only a fraction of the charger's power, turning a 30-minute motorway stop into a much longer wait.<\/p>
