    I realise it’s a joke and the details are irrelevant, but an EV is probably going to take weeks to drain its battery just sitting on in the garage. Days if it’s running the A/C.

    Moving the vehicle costs so much energy that it’s a bit shocking how long an EV battery lasts if you use it for things other than driving.

      I only use my Tesla for powering my washer and dryer.

      (/s. I wouldn’t let a Tesla occupy any space I owned or controlled.)

        Even still, my EV could run the electric dryer for 12h straight on the highest settings. Washer is a rounding error in that estimate. It takes a lot to use up am EV battery.
