This is not a question about what’s best for the car. This is about my electricity usage being much higher than before getting the car, even when I rarely drive it.
I was out of town nearly 1/2 of December. My GF was gone almost the entire month. My electrical usage was the highest it’s ever been. Gas use was notably down. Furnace, stove, water heater are gas. Lights are LED, which a few were left on 24/7 wile we were away.
I leave the car in the garage, plugged in, 80% max. It probably wasn’t driven more than 5 times in December. Sentry is off at home. I’m thinking that leaving it plugged in is sucking some juice every day. A little amount that’s adding up over 30 days.
Am I right?
Should I drop it down to 30-40% and then just tell the app to bump it to 80% a couple hours before I know I’ll need to use the car? I just don’t want to be throwing away $30-$40 a month.
