Leaving 2020 Kona EV powered on while parked any issues?

Hey everyone! I've got a quick question for all the Kona EV owners out there. I have a 2020 model, and when I'm waiting to pick my son up from school, I tend to leave the car on with the radio playing for about 10–20 minutes.

Is that alright, or could it damage the battery system or electronics in the long run? Would it be a smarter choice to switch to accessory mode or just turn it off completely?
 
You're totally fine leaving it on like that, the car is just sipping power in that situation, and it's designed to handle it, I do the same during soccer practice, sometimes even longer, and it barely makes a dent in the range
