I've read in various places that the 12v battery gets charged up when you're charging the HV, is this so ?
The reason I ask is, yesterday when I did my first home charge (top up) on my Pod Point the first thing I noticed was the 12v battery level was down a notch when I started the car. It had been sat at the 14v mark all the time previously, but after the charge it was at the next notch down (13v ?) when I first put the car in READY mode. It crept back up to the 14v mark after about 30 seconds, whereas it normally goes to the 14v mark straight away and did so today when I started it up.
This made me think maybe the 12v doesn't charge up with the HV.
