>If you're mostly driving in EV mode, stale gas could even be an issue (though that's probably not a huge concern for most).

volvo hybrids force engine operation in case gas wasn't refilled/used for too long.

Makes sense. So yeah, not something the end user would really have to worry about then.

well, if you will go to hybrid car forum to "peak covid" timeframe, a lot of users actually worried about it. this kind of stuff is rather obscure functionality mentioned deep inside the manual that nobody bothers to read.

also, this is volvo. no idea how other hybrids tackle this issue
