I'll be leaving my FE in an unheated garage from January to April in the cold north, near Buffalo, NY.

Will the car hold a charge that long, undriven? Can/should I hook up a trickle charger to the small battery?

Any advice is appreciated!

We have a thread about that. Someone left their car for 7 weeks and lost 20% of the charge, from 80% to 60%.

What is the longest you have left the ID.4 without using it?

There have been some questions lately about leaving the ID.4 for a period of time. If you remember, what SOC did you leave the battery and what it was when you returned. Mine has only been left for a couple of days at 55% SOC and was the same when we returned.

Maximum time without charging

Leaving the country for 6 weeks over the summer. Wondering whether I can charge to 80%, take off the charger and find the car >30% 6 weeks later?

Can you leave it plugged in to a L2 smart EVSE?
