Hibernate car for 6 month period

[4playF1]

I want to hibernate my car for 6 months every year (summer period).

Will the battery survive if I just connect it to a normal wall socket during storage?

If it's plugged in it will top up each day at the scheduled charge time. It's the best method to store it.

But as an aside... 6 months? every year? What a waste of a car! Let a friend or family member use it!

Set your charge level to somewhere in the middle (~50%). Lithium batteries are supposedly very stable at half charge.

Yes.

You may want to check every few weeks to confirm it’s still plugged and has power. If something went wrong, you can get someone to plug it in again or reset a breaker.

I've heard of these cars being stored during the winter but this is new

Agreed with above, set charge slider to 50% and leave the car plugged in and it’ll take care of itself.

Lithium batteries degrade slowest around 50% state of charge.

If only the manual for the car that you can read on the touch screen explicitly asked and answered this exact question.
