Not necessarily if the car is witched off. If you leave the car in "Drive" it will probably use the traction battery and that might be the best solution to avoid running down the 12 volt (assuming there is no reason why this should not be done in an ID4). I assume the ID4 does not have a utility mode? In the Kia e-Niro the car can be switched to utility mode which then runs all the electrics from the traction battery and charges the 12 volt. Ideal for your situation.
Sitting in the car for extended periods (over 30 mins) car shuts off can we extend this time.
In my previous VW Tiguan if you were sitting in the car for 30 mins even with the radio only on, the car would shut down so not to run the 12v battery down
The same seems to happen with my ID4, with this current hot period I sometimes need to be sat in the car for 30 mins or longer without driving around. Can this 30 min timer be adjusted and does switching car off and back on for a further period do damage or case any issues with the battery. I assume the car's radio's/controls/a/c runs off the 12 v battery but is recharged back to full power from the cars HV battery.
