To all seasoned R1S, gen 2 owners.
I have had my R1S for a little bit more than 10 months now but I still wonder if I can do more to reduce the drain on the vehicle while it is just sitting there ?
My 2021 Toyota Rav 4 Prime, once fully charged, appears not to loose charge after fully charging.

Thanks in advance

How much drain per day are you seeing in kWh? There is a floor the R1's can't go below no matter what you do.

It is pretty common to see 1-2% loss per day.

When I leave my truck at the airport it will lose more the first 2-3 days and then it seems to go into a deeper sleep and the drain slows to 1% or less per day. It had been a while since I left my truck but last time I think I lost about 6% over 10 days.
