Note
The charging input socket's LED lamp indicates status for charging the high voltage battery and not whether the car is consuming power, such as when the climate control is in use. Even if the LED lamp indicates that charging has finished, or that scheduled charging is activated, the car may still draw current from the socket. To avoid affecting the car's range, current is firstly drawn from the socket and not the battery in order to supply any additional load from the car (such as preconditioning etc.).
