We don't always, and I don't think we're that unusual. We're retired, and we live in a highly walkable town. We have e-bikes for medium trips (up to 15km or so). Thus it's not unusual for the Zoe to sit in the garage for several days at a stretch, sometimes a week or more. Most of that time it sits dark and silent, sound asleep. But now and again it "wakes up" for a while, especially in the wee hours of the morning. I don't know what it's doing - maybe it's bored and it's playing Space Invaders or Snake - but it can chow down 1-2% of the battery (500-1000kWh). The Zoe forum on SpeakEV says I could disconnect the 12v battery to stop this. However, I haven't been sufficiently annoyed to do so - especially since I can put it back to sleep by tucking it in and telling it a bedtime story (actually just opening and closing the driver's door).
