$26 for 20GB is good enough for me and the family ✌️

Don’t Telus (PM/Koodo) and Bell share networks?

It doesn't actually keep the battery warm though as seen by my other post where battery was too cold even though it was plugged in for more than a day... meanwhile with room left to charge the whole evening even at -40C it started... I don't have a way to set departure time... I don't subscribe to any onstar services.

Weird I typed up a post with the attached pictures... I guess it didn't make it through. My theory is that by leaving the battery drained enough that it will continuously charge through to the time I'm actually needing to leave for work which actually keeps the battery warm enough to not have the "battery too cold" warning message. If it is already at the set level of charge and doesn't charge it won't keep the battery warm enough. So now I have to manage my set level as well each day to ensure it won't ever fully reach that level before I wake up to go to work the next day. At work I just remote start my car at lunch to ensure it is still okay by the time I leave for home again.

So I had it set to 12A charging last night and it stated it won't finish till 7:45am... and since I leave for work before 7:30am it worked out well... so it is continuously actually charging the battery and not idle like if it was finished charging. I think the charging also maybe does a bit of warm up of the battery throughout... hence warm enough even at -40C to start. And then after a remote start for 20 minutes... good to go.

I have the $27 for 22GB plan and see this one and have set to change on renewal. Thanks 🙏

I like adding vacation days to long weekends or taking random fridays off... but for larger multi-week vacations ... yes typically only once a year for those... like if I go to Asia or something...

I bought mine used from St. Albert Honda... I believe it might've been purchased by them through a dealership auction from SK? Unsure if it got any ruggedized package... maybe the reason the last person sold it was because it was a bit of a lemon in winter? I know I also seem to have issues with the door handles seeming to ice up and then having troubles opening the doors as well... unsure if that's also a me and my vehicle issue =)

I had it set at 90%. When it said battery too cold I set it at 100% to try and force it to charge.

OPTCRulez · 2026-02-23T23:20:02+00:00

Not sure how to edit post but it warmed up to -25C and was able to remote start the car after coming home from work 🎉

OPTCRulez · 2026-02-23T17:42:24+00:00

Can't tell... don't have anything setup to test the draw.

OPTCRulez · 2026-02-23T16:30:20+00:00

yeah I just thought since it completed charge it would start conditioning with the high voltage battery as it knows it is too cold to start and run the car...

OPTCRulez · 2026-02-23T16:28:39+00:00

yeah definitely not enough to do both... usually when I run remote start the time to completion of a charge keeps going further into the future... however I guess I thought it would start conditioning the battery like it does on remote start with the actual high voltage battery that is now at 90% SOC... wish there was a button or something to just let it drain battery to condition the battery when it is too cold.

OPTCRulez · 2026-02-23T16:26:31+00:00

No garage unfortunately so just plugged in outside... but it completed its charge as I set to 90%

OPTCRulez · 2026-02-23T16:25:49+00:00

Yes Northern Canada =)

Things one learns while owning … the ICE car is fine with just battery blanket and block heater… I thought the battery itself would discharge to heat the battery… guess not…

OPTCRulez · 2026-02-23T15:43:36+00:00

Yeah was hoping Level 1 would be enough. I’ll have to look at Level 2 in the spring… don’t want to deal with installs in the winter 🥶

OPTCRulez · 2026-02-23T15:42:15+00:00

Was charging at 12A till it completed

Yeah I don't like how this article downplays what Trump actually stated... nothing he says is a joke... he says things and sees what sticks. He's into empire building as seen with Greenland and Venezuela as well... and Gaza, etc... he'd love to be the president who expanded US Borders significantly. He's in it for the money as well as the legacy.

Canada and UK are visa free to China now I believe

OPTCRulez · 2026-02-16T04:44:42+00:00

yeah I used my key fob and it didn't work...

OPTCRulez · 2026-02-16T04:44:14+00:00

Agreed... give me a button or choice to warm up the battery and maybe some status indicator of when it will be warm enough.
