You're getting yourself turned around. Different battery chemistry means it behaves differently when not being used. A traditional lead acid battery will lose charge when not used. A lithium battery will lose little to none. A Tesla and an iPhone both use lithium batteries. When running background apps they'll both lose charge. However, they run similar power drain when running those apps. At similar power draw a larger battery will always lose less charge than a smaller battery.
Sorry. but that really does not make any sense to me. How can a self driving car not use apps that drain batteries? How can a car that uses batteries to cool down batteries not use power?
I understand posters here believe I am against EVs because I'm just a...whatever... but I am really very confused because the common sense and the "explanations" never match up.
Not a particularly big fan of EVs, but it's current that causes heat, and current only happens when something is demanding power, and with batteries the size that an EV uses it would be a lot of power. Batteries don't generate heat without it.
Like Teslag said, if you're at a stop in an EV, imagine it's like your cell phone or laptop going into standby mode. It'll use little to no power, and the "apps" an EV does need to run even when "idling" could be run by a battery the size of a typical iPhone.
