I’ll post the same thing that I always post regarding my EV. For good battery maintenance you shouldn’t charge above 90% on a regular basis and don’t let the charge go below 20% on a regular basis. For my car, in beautiful weather that gives me about 150 mile range or better. If it is below freezing, as it was last winter, that range can be cut in half. The car does use a little energy when not in use, but when I went away for more than two weeks it went into energy saving mode and lost about 1% of the charge during that 16 days.
Your point?
You basically back up everything I said.
It went into energy saving mode and you only lost 1%. What happens when you’re in ‘stop and go’ traffic and it has to turn on and off again. I’m betting you’re losing more than 1%.
And given that you only get 150 miles on a charge, it would have taken you a long time to get out of Florida, if at all.
And based on the video I saw the other day of a very, very, very long line of EVs waiting their turn to get on a Tesla charger, I’ll pass.
