Just deciding. If we are fortunate enough to be able to holiday this year wether to leave the car for 2 weeks at the airport or arrange a minibus.
Anyone have any experience of this and any do's and dont's for leaving an ID3 that long.

Should be OK to leave it charged between 40-80%

That's what I'm going to do for a planned holiday in November. And if it fails to start you'll be entitled to call out VW Assistance. (Although this obviously isn't the ideal end to a holiday)

Thanks all. I will park up at the airport. If I set out with a full charge the journey should only take a max of 20kw out of the battery. Plenty left to be sitting with for 2 weeks even with a daily decay.

I have a 12v battery booster I keep in the glove box just in case (bought as was on 0564 for 6 months, although never needed to use it). The booster is useful for other things, such as powering the tyre pump, charging devices etc. With 2.1 I should not need it as the car should look after the 12v battery.
