not using the car for two months

Asked by GuruNDTQY Oct 09, 2019 at 01:07 PM about the Kia Optima Hybrid

Question type: General

how often should I have the car started if I go on vacation for two months.  will
the hybrid batteries charge with just letting it run or does it have to be driven.  
If it needs to be driven, how far.

1 Answer

It would be best if someone drove the car a few miles each week. If this is a plug in hybrid maybe you can leave it plugged in but read your manual before you do so.
