Pre climate several 20 minute cycles in a row?

[HSDish]

Do You think it`s recomendable to pre climate several 20 minute cycles in a row?

Or at least two.

I e , to start a new pre climate 20 minute cycle immedeately, when the former cycle has ended.

I don't see the reason why not? I did it a couple of times when the temperature dropped below -5 or so.

Thanks 

I did three cycles in a row when the temp was below -7 , too

Just thought it possibly could overstrain the system

No more so than driving for a similar amount of time in ev mode with the heating on. I found out the other day that the climate will disable itself if you haven't enough charge available in the Battery when the car didn't charge overnight for an unknown reason (I have the pre-heat set on a schedule to come on on normal work days). The Battery dropped to an indicated 20% then cut out/stopped the climate pre-conditioning.

Done it a lot over the last 2.5 years in winter. 20min isn't enough to defrost it when it's very cold.

BTW I keep it plugged into the wall box then it doesn't use up the traction Battery (state of charge) but I've also done it when it wasn't plugged in too.
