    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.
