Apologies if there was a previous thread on this... I looked but didn't find one.

Is there any guidance on how frequently a PHEV should be driven? The vehicle in question is a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. The car will be in a garage and can be plugged in. There won't be a reason to drive it for at least 2 or 3 months.

Should the Outlander be left plugged in for that kind of timeframe or would it be best to fully charge the battery and then disconnect?
Should the car be driven every week, every two weeks, every three weeks? If so, is it a good idea to make sure the petrol engine is used for a while?
Any other maintenance points to consider?

Appreciate any advice.
