My question is if we need to make a quick stop, within what time range should we turn off the car vs leaving the car on. Sometimes I forgot something and need to go back to pick up, I noticed the bar drop when I just turn it off and start right back on. How you notice this?
We all know booting up the laptop and shutting it down consumes some battery power. When the car is completely turn on, the power indicator seems to say the car is consuming ~400w/h, which translates to 6~7w/min. I don't have any any instrument to measure and only go by the graphical indicator on the screen. When the car is starting up, I assume it will consume more power, as it needs to charge up the circuit and capacitors, especially the ones for the motor. By power cycling the car, how much power is really been consumed and when is better just to leave the car on?
Also how about when we use the carwing to check battery status? I assume the high voltage rail needs to be turned on to check it, as what we did in the car (by pushing power button twice in order to check it from the screen). Will this also consumes the same amount of energy vs turning on the car?
