Hi, guys!
Is this normal?
My Polestar 3 was over 90% battery so I plugged it into a level 1 charger.
It was below 30 degrees outside. After like 3 hours, the battery went below 90%. I guess it was too cold for the charging process. But at 30F the charging was working normally. What do you think?
 
Why would you even think about charging it when it’s already over 90%? Seriously, try to stick to that 20-80% battery rule to keep your battery in tip-top shape!

Oh, my! I forgot about that rule...I guess it is my bad then. Thanks for the input, guys! @tonyapples @vtecbish.
Do you have abt other tips for managing battery performance in colder temperatures?

Park it in a garage when it is cold outside, and try avoiding too man short trips (short trips can prevent the battery from reaching optimal temperatures, this is the reason).
