Long term storage
Posted: Tue Apr 26, 2022 6:22 pm
For anyone thinking of storing their ID.4 over a period of time, my experience in storing the car for 3 weeks was trouble free.
After reading a few articles and other forums where the recommendation was to leave the car between 50-80% SOC, I charged the car to 70% (but ended up having to drive a little before leaving the car alone at 66%).
I periodically checked the We Connect ID app to see if there was any loss in charge over the 3 weeks but there was none, and on return the car was happy to start up (so didn't appear to have any 12v battery discharge issues).
For anyone who ends up having to leave your ID.4 for an extended period of time, I hope your experience is also positive.
