Storage question: Macan EV parked for a few months

[Bob Taylor]

Should I keep it plugged in or just let it sit?
I’ll be gone for a few months and the car will sit parked in an air-conditioned garage. I have a Level 2 charger available.
Should I leave it plugged in the whole time? If so, what charge limit do you recommend setting for battery health?

This topic has been covered already in the forum so worth searching.

Also consult the Owner's manual for guidance - tips on storage for 6 weeks plus.

Leaving connected to your EVSE to trickle charge is recommended. 50 - 80% is enough.

From the owner's manual (translated from Finnish).

"When storing over two weeks:

- Don't let the HV battery deplete.
- The SoC during the storage must be 25-50% "

I'd say using the level 2 charger and limiting the charge to 50% should be optimal.

Attached is a worthwhile checklist I use with success.
