    I haven’t driven or charged my 2019 Prius prime plug-in since April of this year. My 12V battery died and I was unable to open the charge port door and I’m sure the primary battery has run down.

    I was in the hospital and rehab before I could attempt charging the primary battery. By then, the 12V battery was dead and the charge port wouldn’t open.

    I plan to change the 6-yr old 12V battery so I can try starting the car (if the main battery will do so). I’m also hoping that the charge port will open and I can charge the primary battery. Then I plan gently driving the car through a charge cycle or two.

    Have I overlooked anything?
