You’re welcome Matt! It is fine to leave your Sorento PHEV plugged in when it isn’t charging. Over the course of a few days - week I don’t believe it would use any extra electricity, or if so, so little you wouldn’t notice. If ever you go away for a long vacation, two weeks or more, it is possible the battery could shed just enough charge (a percent or three) that you might even tell it to top off remotely just before you return. I say that from experience with other EVs and PHEVs. I have gone for at most about a week not driving my Sorento PHEV (when it had a broken window), and it never seemed to lose more than maybe 1% of charge in that time. When it is cold out, this is much more likely as the batteries don’t “like” being cold. If you live in a place where temps get below 55F for long stretches, it is probably a good idea to check your range before going out if its been sitting more than a day or two, as you may want to top off when it’s cold.
