Will battery still have charge if I leave my MG4 EV at airport for 2 weeks ?

Going on holiday for 2 weeks and want to leave my MG4 EV in the car park at the airport. Does anyone have any experience of this and will the battery retain its charge?

Left my car in drive for 32 days. Came back home and car started straight away. I was expecting problem on return. So destoys that myth.

Why leave battery at 50% to 80%? Why not as fully charged as possible?

Why not as fully charged as possible?

Because all lithium based batteries (NMC and LiFePO₄) suffer greater degradation when near 100% SoC, and you're not going to be needing much charge while it's parked. Just a little to top up the 12 V battery now and then.
