[Ovmsdev] new member interested in Kia Soul EV preheating

[EV Eh?]

Personally, I'm comfortable with "always on" OBDII equipment and understand
the risks. I'm tempted to buy a dual use lithium ion aux battery for it so
I don't have to watch the 12v so closely. Appreciate the warning.

To points about polling while parked, I get it - that seems like it would
be an "all OVMS" setting not particularly an xks setting, at a guess?
