Many early MEB-based Volkswagen Group EVs are missing a crucial feature: battery preconditioning. This means that models like the Volkswagen ID.3, ID.4, ID. Buzz, Skoda Enyaq, and Cupra Born do not have the ability to preheat the high-voltage battery pack before plugging into a fast charger. As a result, charging in cold climates can be a lengthy process, as the battery restricts power if it’s not at the optimal temperature. However, there is now a solution for owners of these pre-2024 MEB EVs. Security engineer Fredrik Gustafsson has developed a small circuit board that can be built and installed to…
