What will go wrong with my car if I don't drive it during lockdown?

What happens to electric cars if they're not used for some time?

Not a lot. They might need recharging as they'll lose a bit of charge over time but, if anything, electric cars can probably cope with being left for long periods better than combustion-engined cars. They have fewer moving parts to seize up.
