You have a point; some EVs like the Leaf don't even have conditioning. The Volt does have active conditioning, and being a PHEV instead of a BEV has battery charge and discharge limits which were limited by the factory to preserve longevity at the expense of being able to charge to a true 100%. If extra range is needed the ICE is activated instead of stressing the traction battery.

I would wonder about shared loads on the mains causing undesirable power factors or other electrical noise. I'd check that the mains frequency remains within specification as well: 50/60Hz ± 3Hz according to APC.

You can change the spelling of one word in the English language to match how they are pronounced. What word do you pick? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
