Volkswagen ID.3 Forum

So when I picked it up the salesperson said it didn’t have a 12v socket .
Turns out it does in the boot, and I used to pump up a couple of paddle boards with an electric pump from the petrol BMW.
With the ICE car , I just ran the engine to keep from draining the 12v.What will happen with the ID3 ?
Can it draw from the big battery, or do I run the risk of draining the 12v?

That's an interesting question, will an inverter attached to the 12v plug transform the car in a giant battery? Would be cool

Given that the 12V can be maintained by the car using power from the drive battery, I would just leave the car "started" and expect it to be fine.

This is a somewhat educated hunch by the way, I've not tried it or monitored it.

I agree. Even with the car off its prob only 70 watts or so.
