Hi folks

For information.

Just got back from 3 week's holiday, left the car in our garage and the battery on our ID 3 still shows 80%.

Charged it to 80% before going.

Was wondering what would happen ,-pleasantly surprised.

I thought at first you had a 3 week holiday in your car and still had 80% 😆
That is reassuring. The longest I have left my car is 10 days and as yours my SoC was as It was when I parked up.
Helps to get all these little worries out of the way 👍

I left my car at an airport car park for nearly 7 weeks
It lost 3% of charge
It did loose a fair bit of charge in the first 20 minutes of driving it though because the batteries were cold
Overall very impressed with its ability to hold charge

Traction batteries are very good these days. While my ID3 was on order we had a holiday for a fortnight, leaving my wife's Renault Zoe with 69% of capacity. It was still showing 69% when we returned home after the 14 days.
