I can confirm that a minute-or-so charge of the 12v battery occurs when you first plug the charging cable in (and presumably daily after that) on my 2013 Leaf. I learned this when I left my leaf unplugged for three weeks and discovered the 12v battery was shot, and used a voltmeter to explore...

Hi! Last time my car wouldn't start, I took it as an excuse to buy an EV :-) Now the same thing happened to my EV. Oh noes! But all is well, and I got a chance to play with gadgets, which was fun. Here's an OCD-level writeup in case it helps anyone else someday. We stopped driving my 2013...
