Is it possible to check how much % charge you have added whilst still charging or do you have to disconnect. Is it also possible to heat car whilst charging to save on range? ZS 2020
Open the door when charging and it shows the percentage on the display, car cannot heat when charging it will run on the 12 volt battery and possibly flatten itIs it possible to check how much % charge you have added whilst still charging or do you have to disconnect.

Or if you're out of the car, just press the close door button on the key fob, and squint to see the display with the annoyingly low contrast graphics through the driver's window. The state of charge as a percentage will show for 10-20 seconds on the dash.Open the door when charging and it shows the percentage on the display
? When charging, the contactors are on, so the high voltage pack is available for heating and cooling. Only the ventilation fans (which are one of the largest 12 V loads) and seat heaters (if fitted) run off 12 V. But while charging, the DC-DC is active, so 12 V loads come via the big pack, and ultimately reduce the charge rate a tiny bit. So the 12 V battery should not get depleted while charging.car cannot heat when charging it will run on the 12 volt battery and possibly flatten it
What hatch I'm still learning. ?Or open the hatch
So does this mean I could heat the car ever so slightly before disconecting and it wouldn't cause to much of an issue or be dangerous. ?Or if you're out of the car, just press the close door button on the key fob, and squint to see the display with the annoyingly low contrast graphics through the driver's window.

I will try this thanksIf sitting in car you can press brake pedal and charge state will display.
I tried this and it only showed open door on dash.Open the door when charging and it shows the percentage on the display, car cannot heat when charging it will run on the 12 volt battery and possibly flatten it
Do I not need the key on my person to open/close door? What would happen? Someone on here said ev's were like computers on wheels and I hate computers lol.While charging, if you press the button on the drivers door, it will display the current SOC and the remaining time to hit 100% in the dash panel, while looking through the drivers door window.
But, you do need to keep the keys AWAY from the car while doing this check !.
Rear door/hatch that leads into the boot.What hatch I'm still learning. ?
That never worked for me. ?If sitting in car you can press brake pedal and charge state will display.
