I live near Toronto and will not be using my 2018 Energi for a month this winter.  It will be outside. I would appreciate suggestions on what state of charge I should leave the HVB.

I would leave it at 50%.

I would also disconnect the negative lead of the 12 volt battery or it will be close to dead after a month.  With the 12 volts disconnected the contactors can't be engaged so there will be no drain on the HVB. 

 

Tie a small rope to the emergency release handle in the trunk.  Fold down the the right rear seat and tie the other end of the rope to the latch bracket for the seat.

Make sure the child rear door locks are not enabled.

 

When it is time to reactivate the car open the driver door with the metal key that is inside of the keyfob.  Get into the car and open all of the doors.  Pull the rope to open the trunk. Reconnect the 12 volt battery.  Both batteries should be at the SOC you left them at.
