ApplePITP,
Using your iPhone to wirelessly stream content will have a greater impact on your battery. CarPlay is doing multiple things at the same time, using Maps, playing music and other things are all done on your iPhone and then streamed to your vehicle in the CarPlay Dashboard. If you're not happy with the battery usage, you can connect your iPhone directly to your vehicle with a USB cable. See more here: Use CarPlay with your iPhone. Otherwise maximizing battery performance is the best option. If you feel like this is part of a larger issue, we recommend that you Contact Official Apple Support.
Thanks!
