It was a love story until I got stranded twice at ungodly hours due to the 12v battery failing on my EV6.

I am sorry for you but the 12V battery failing in EVs with a huge high voltage battery slotted just next to it is pretty funny. I know it is relatively common and there are reasons, but c’mon 😆

That’s exactly why I was pissed. Apparently it’s also « just » a regulatory safety feature that the system must detect the 12v before switching to the main battery…

It was not fun being stranded after midnight in a boat ramp until 2am…

And for some reason, manufacturers still use lead acid 12V batteries. Tesla makes trash, but their 48V standard makes much more sense than 12V systems.

Having money does tend to do that.
