    So, let’s say I leave an EV at the airport, with 60% charge, battery in reasonable health, and return 2 months later and head home, having lost maybe 3%. You are telling me that’s…not doing exactly what you’re saying I can’t and didn’t just do?

    You don’t also immediately lose all the stored energy either. In a (hypothetical, future tyme) properly kitted out scenario, I leave my EV plugged in at the airport and it’s battery contributes to local grid storage while I’m away. So the 60% I arrived with might drop down during high load, but since my utility company has a handy app I can schedule when I need to unplug and ask for the charge percentage to be topped up in time.

    I might even not have to pay to park my car in that scenario, or potentially even earn credits back…

      You will not have lost 3%. You will have lost 30-40% - because no Airport has (and probably never will have) Parking, where you can leave your EV plugged in.

        Explain to me what hypothetical means to you. Then re read my post and note where I point out the hypotheticals.

        And you definitely would not lose 30-40%. I’d meet at 8-10% but you are either inexperienced with the tech or shilling an agenda with that 30-40%.

        But what would me and my actual lived experience know right?
