Diet and exercise make a difference too. Most Americans eat a lot more calorific food and walk/cycle a lot less.

And the post length limit on Bluesky is 300 characters (more precisely, 300 Unicode Grapheme Clusters).

If it was stored in a warehouse instead of a forest maybe it wouldn't need to be incinerated...

Duno about newer cars, but in a 2017 model bmw it tends to brake for parked cars quite often when using radar cruise control...

There really shouldn't need to be a 12V battery at all

I think it's mainly there just to be able to control the circuit that cuts power to the high voltage battery off while the car is parked for safety reasons.

If a tree falls in the forest...

Since this meme was created. But only for a short moment.

Probably would still need the 12V battery to have enough charge to close the connection to the high voltage battery that would power the step down converter.

But yeah it seems dumb to me that most EVs don't keep the 12V battery topped up from the high voltage battery somehow while the car is parked, but I'm not an electrical engineer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

TFW the can has sharp edges.
