No-one likes getting into a cold cab; How to warm your LEVC TX
In an electric vehicle, the cabin temperature is maintained electrically using energy from the drive battery. When charging your TX, whether overnight at home or on-street, you can set a ‘Parking Climate’ timer to pre- warm or pre-cool the cabin using the mains electricity. This feature automatically activates the climate control system to restore the last set temperature and fan speed. This means energy isn’t taken from the battery to do the same job after you’ve driven away, helping to preserve your electric range...plus, you get to climb into a cab that’s just the way you like it.

- It is deactivated when the ignition is switched back on, the vehicle is locked from the outside, or if the vehicle is plugged into a chargepoint.
