Mark, List, yesterday my Twizy was temporarily dead... because of the OVMS power usage. I had not driven for 5 days. The Twizy has a very small 12V battery with only 14 Ah capacity, and it only gets charged while charging the Twizy and while driving (from the main battery). The OVMS with GPS activated needs a constant current of ~110 mA according to my measurement, thus sucking that battery empty within 4-5 days, maybe fewer. I'll make the power warning much more prominent in the Twizy user guide. Have there been any considerations yet about using the sleep mode of the PIC and/or SIM chipset?
