Garage List
On mine I've played around with the departure time setting.
Generally I set departure for 20 minutes before my actual leave time.

The car is fully charged from the night before and still plugged into the wallbox.
If I set it it for 08.00 it starts climatisation at 07.40.
At 08.00 it is still drawing 3.7kW but if I wait till 08.20 it switches off and the car is fully charged and warm inside.

It appears that delaying the departure allows the wallbox to top up what was used by the battery for climatisation especially with sub-zero temperatures.
