Will an EV battery drain while parked at the airport?
Original: Leaving your EV at the airport: Will the battery run down while you’re away?
Motorists are asking whether an electric car left at airport parking for a week or two will lose meaningful charge. Experts note that modern EVs lose only a small amount of charge while parked, typically a few percent, though factors like cold weather, battery age and active features such as security systems or sentry mode can increase drain. Advice includes charging to around 70-80% before leaving and avoiding leaving the car plugged into accessories. The topic has been picked up widely by consumer and motoring outlets.
Why now: More travellers are flying with EVs and want practical reassurance about long-term parking and battery drain.
