Confused about charging
Have a 2026 Kona EV. It's my first EV so I really just want to make sure I don't wreck it or do anything wrong. I'm located in a warm coastal area of Canada. Coldest we typivally get is - 5C in the winter.
I see battery conditioning has a toggle in bluelink. How/when do you do it if so? Is it bad to leave this on all the time?
Is it bad to run the AUX systems while the car is charging? If I want to play the stereo while charging?
Our use case is about 30-40km of daily driving. We don't have the ability to get a level 2 charger, so I bought a 15amp Lectron Nema5-15 level 1 charging cable. Is there anything I need to know about level 1 charging other than I'll only get 5-6km/hr? The plug and wiring are both relatively new on that circuit but I'm uncertain about leaving it plugged in for up to 10hrs ac charging at a time.
Any tips for the regen braking system? I've got it at level 2 and am so surprised how much less one uses the brakes with these systems. I've read and heard stories about brakes/rotors seizing from lack of use. Is it best practice to try and do some hard braking from time to time to clean them up?
Any other setup or operating tips would be appreciated for a EV newbie.
