In general, I think we’ll be ok so long as we treat power consumption as a priority and do everything we can to allow it to be reduced in the fundamental design. My guess is that in our lowest power mode, when car is not charging and not driving and peripherals can be put in low power mode, we’ll be in the 10s of mA (rather than 100s of mA).
I am happy with this perspective, and I would encourage power consumption to remain a high priority.
For what it's worth, I have an OVMS v2 module on an ICE car (my wife's) which sat garaged for 3 weeks between semesters at her college. The OVMS module had completely drained the 12V battery after about two weeks. Obviously I should have thought about that beforehand and disconnected the OVMS module, but I think the module hardware should do better than that.
Thanks,
