The issue for me is leaving it on charge for a few months, or charging to 100% and unplugging and leaving?
I really would like to go EV for the daily hack, but reality is we currently (apart from current Covid restrictions) go away for 4 months.
How would the battery cope?
BMW, Nissan and also JLR dealers haven't a clue when asked.
Not sure for an i3. With a Tesla you can simply set the charge limit to 50% and leave it plugged in for as long as you like. But I have a feeling the i3 only charges to an indicated 100% (but more like 80-90% in reality) which is fine for daily use, but not ideal for long term storage. Probably worth looking at the user manual online and see what it says about long term storage charge.
