I will need to leave my 2024 PHEV outside for a week in Michigan with no plug (it would not help anyways).

I cannot take a cab and I would rather not get a rental as they don't have winter tires (that's a show stopper for me).

Anyways I am wondering if it's worth while connecting to the car each day and running it?

If its below 10f it will run on gas and would only run it if I know it's below that temp.
 
10'F is -12.2'C. The Lithium-Ion Battery Pack should be fine as long as it is not colder than -20'C or -4'F

I would not bother plugging it in or running it since charging it nor Running the ICE will charge the
Battery if it is already full and not much heat is produced with Level 1 Charging to warm up the Battery.
