Exactly.
My Volvo has something similar to prevent complete draining of the battery.
It was not smart enough to shut off the culprit though

Looks like a design flaw when it's not included on an electric car with an expensive battery package.
Another flaw is allowing a product to completely drain a 56 kWh battery in 10 weeks - just sitting there.
