Watch What Happens When You Leave Your Tata Tiago EV Parked For A Week With Less Than 20 Percent Battery
The Tiago EV gets a 24 kWh battery pack in the top spec with a claimed range of up to 315km
One of the primary concerns with switching to an electric vehicle continues to be range anxiety. While you may not think twice before leaving your internal combustion engine (ICE) car parked up with just above reserve fuel levels before going for a week-long trip, would you be okay with leaving your EV for the same duration with less than 20 percent charge? Well, we did exactly that with a high-spec Tata Tiago EV and here’s what we found out:
It turns out that leaving your EV on relatively low charge for a week does not drain the battery to empty. However, if you do need to park it up for a longer period, such as 2 weeks or more, it is advisable to leave it with the battery at least halfway charged. Following which, your next full charge should be with a slow charger and not a DC fast charger to preserve the longevity of the EV battery pack. We would also like to point out that these details will vary depending on the brand and model, so be sure to look up the guide or owner’s manual for whichever EV you own.
