Control Description
Air Conditioner Control During Charging
VCM allows the air conditioner to be used during charging. In this case, the air conditioner stops when charging is completed.
Timer Air Conditioning Control
When all of the following conditions are satisfied, VCM activates the timer air conditioner so that the room temperature reaches 25 °C (77°F) before the scheduled departure time.
- Timer air conditioner timer is ON
- There is AC power input during charging (or in a state where AC power input is possible).
Regarding the timer air conditioner operation time, VCM starts the EV system 2 hours prior to the scheduled department time, and the A/C auto amp. determines the necessary operating time in the range of 0 to 2 hours based on the outside air temperature and the temperature in the cabin and sends this information to VCM. VCM back calculates the operation required time from the scheduled department time to determine the timer air conditioner start time.
Furthermore, when the timer charge function and the timer air conditioner function are in operation at the same time due to an overlap of the timer setting, either function can be set to be preferentially provided with electric power.
- When turning on the power during timer air conditioning, switch to normal air conditioning control.
- When timer charge and the timer air conditioner operate simultaneously, VCM distributes power to the air conditioner system and the charge system according to the priority set on the navigation screen.
Remote Air Conditioning Control
When VCM receives the remote air conditioning request signal from the TCU, the air conditioning is operated.
Remote air-conditioner operates as follows.
| Condition | Operating time (min) |
|---|---|
| Charge connector is not connected. | 15 |
| When connecting EVSE (with AC input) | 15 - 120 |
| During Quick charge | 15 - 120 |
