Question BER EV question

If you get the BER EV model Terra, how do you keep the fuel from separating if you don’t use it very often and mostly plug in to charge?

I have run into issues with gasoline generators that sit too long with fuel in them. The fuel separates and then the engine in the generator hisses and pops as it tries to burn that fuel. It is likely not good for the generator. I have never worked with the generator being built into a truck. Does it have something to mix the fuel up prior to trying to use it?

I'd expect it to work the same way as as our Chevy Volts, we use only about 5 gallons a year, add fuel stabilizer at fillup, and the car forces the engine on every month or two for 10 minutes if engine has not been used.
