Leaving my zs in my garage for 4 weeks while on holiday

[Anne rob]

Does anyone have advice on leaving ZS in garage for 4 weeks, I believe 50% charge is advisable, but would appreciate any other comments. I left the car last year for 2 weeks and washed it and put in the garage, thought it was a good idea. On return I powered it up engaged reverse but it wouldn't move, on trying both forward and reverse a few times the brakes finally released with a thud, conclusion don't put your car away with wet linings, they obviously stick to the disc's

I am not sure if you can power down the car without the handbrake automatically applying itself ?.
If you are to leave off the handbrake, then I would be tempted to do this and then choc one of the wheels, at both sides.
The handbrake only locks the rear brakes and offers no transmission lock like with automatic gearboxes.
If you are going to leave the 12 volt battery connected, then I would place it on charge on your return.
You could use a battery maintainer, but do you want it plugged in for four weeks ?.
Leaving the traction battery at around 50 - 60 % SOC should be okay I think.

You could get a trickle charger and leave it connected while you are away.
