{"replyTo":"","text":"Use the opti-idle feature. All cascadias have it. It will turn the truck on and off as needed to maintain the batteries. It also has a driver comfort setting so you can maintain a temperature. You'll use less fuel, almost never need to regen at night, and put less hours on your engine. If you don't know how to use the Opti-idle there are several videos on YouTube.","replyToPid":0}
