 Hybrids and Starting Troubles - Lygonos
Can affect full EVs also.

The 12v battery runs the usual electronic systems and is recharged by the 400+V traction battery when ignition is turned on for most cars.

The self-discharge rate for Li-ion is virtually nil but some EVs have passive systems (Tesla when "sentry mode*" activated for example) that draw a few kWh per day and can lead to the big battery running down.
