Automakers have never worried about high power consumption in their electronics. We have watches that run for years on a coin cell, solar calculators that run on room light, radios that play for hundreds of hours on a single AA cell, laptops that can sit in standby for months... but most cars will run down their huge 100AH 12v battery from just sitting idle for a few weeks.
I have a little solar panel under the back window to keep the 12v battery charged in our Prius, and a battery minder on my Colorado pickup (the vehicles that sit idle for long periods). We drive our EVs daily. :-) -- Excellence does not require perfection. -- Henry James But it *does* require attention to detail! -- Lee Hart -- Lee A.
