Anyone had any issues leaving an EV parked up for an extended period without being plugged in? e.g. at the airport while away on holiday for a week or two

We have new ZOE's parked up out the back waiting to be collected. generally for around a week to 2 weeks; one of which was for a month due to British Gas being inept, we have had no issues.

What issues were you expecting?

Don't know what issues to expect

An EV is on my horizon as a next vehicle, and was wondering what the discharge rate is when left standing
Even if I was to drive to a resort, it might be left standing for a week or two, outdoors, in the cold, or left at an airport for a few weeks if I fly out, and just wondered how much charge might be lost over that time

The one that was left for a month didn't noticeably loose any charge.

I left my Leaf at Birmingham Airport for 2 and a bit weeks. Lost maybe a couple of percentage points of charge.
