Why does my MINI plug-in hybrid vehicle not have the full electric range when I precondition it for departure?

The climate control in the passenger area of your MINI plug-in hybrid vehicle may require more electrical power than is available from a domestic socket outlet. This means that the consumption of electrical energy for climate control is higher than the charged energy. As your vehicle draws the additional energy required from the high-voltage battery, the electric range is reduced. If you charge your MINI plug-in hybrid vehicle at a Wallbox, the full electric range should be available even when you actively precondition it for departure.
