Update to last post. Needed the garage again today and moved the car out. High voltage still the same but now the car advised me to charge the low voltage battery. And additional information, the temp has been pretty steady just above freezing point. 0-10 C.

My car has been standing in the garage now for ~3 months. It was moved once when the garage was needed for something else. Battery is now at ~80% and it was not charged in between.

You don't have the ID.3 over there? It's quite nice to drive but the interior (dash) is not nice and the UI is horrible (as is the Golf 8)

Not a bad idea at all IMHO. Especially when it's bloody cold like now (-20 C), that's a good quick and dirty solution.

I will try if the new software works. I have read reports in both directions. If it works it will also be needed for the home automation to know the charge level of the battery.

I tried the e-manager. If I would leave every day the same time, I'm sure I'd use it. But my driving is random times and it should be remote access to work for me. Charging I do according to electricity price so this is not a constant time either.

I had a weird case concerning carplay. My car has it but didn't work when I bought the car. USB didn't see the phone at all. It was still under warranty and the dealer found it had a wrong (not faulty) USB slot. It did charge but not transfer data. Can't understand how it's possible but now it...

In summer I don't need heating or cooling. So, no power going there. Winter usually -5 C (-15 .. +5). No pre-heating and car is standing out in the cold. I don't really mind the consumption. Driving is still almost for free, and I can do with the short range.

My range drops to about half from summer to winter. ~300 to 150 km. - Cabin heating, seat heating - Battery is cold - Rolling and aero losses are bigger

My carplay wasn't working when I got the car. The USB was charging but not sending or receiving data. They installed a new USB on warranty.
