I’m retired & drive very little. Sometimes only 4 miles per week round trip for groceries. So my tank full of gas lasts me a long time.

How much charge will the average EV battery lose in one week sitting in my enclosed garage?

This time of year, the garage gets quite warm, as it is not air-conditioned. And quite cold in the winter.

Sitting in your garage could reduce its charge quickly in the coincident fire.

It depends on the tech in the car. In lower power mode you might lose a mile a day or less, more in the winter. The big drain is having all the features of the car turned on. I've read up to 10 miles a day in losses.
