2% a week

Do you remember the video where I talked about a newspaper article in which they condemned EVs because a family parked at the airport and after two weeks returning the battery was flat?
I said it was rubbish - and I was right.
My 500e lost 2% of battery a week. Probably for the alarm. We parked with 98% and returned with 94% after 12 days.
So if I'm not silly enough to drive my battery down to 5%, I'm fine. I never drive it to less than 15%, just to be safe. If I park my EV for 3 months or more, I should have an almost full battery. But with a conventional car I wouldn't be able to drive after 3 months of parking - that battery would also be flat...Meer informatie
