Having recently gone away on holiday the question that I thought to myself was how to store the electric cars battery while away, many people tell you not to charge it to 100% for long periods but a week away isn’t in my mind a long period other people say you should NEVER charge your car to 100% so rather than me guessing this answer I consulted the battery freak him self Dr Euan McTurk whos a battery chemist working heavily in the field.
