I have a refreshed EV6 GTline S AWD purchased Oct 2024 and went on holiday for 2 weeks abroad. When I returned I was shocked to see the traction battery had dropped from 67% to 9%. Valet mode was on but no other equipment was in use.
In February I went for 4 weeks but the battery didn’t lose any charge.
I’m concerned it might be an ICCU problem. Any advice would be appreciated.

Wow!
Nothing to add except the obvious that something must’ve drained the traction battery but presumably you have ruled out everything – you weren’t using a fridge in the back, no one had access and was watching YouTube videos, air/ con or heat on low etc.

I presume we’re at the ruling out stage now and trying to see if it is repeatable - so just drive it for a few days and see how things progress if all is well then perhaps leave it in Valet mode overnight and keep an eye on the battery level.

Thanks. I'll do exactly that and report back.
