Thanks for the tips. I've come to 2 conclusions: 1. Leaving the car on seems ideal, overall, for bad weather days. BUT, is it possible to turn off the daytime running lights or instrument panel lights easily? 2. The cargo area 12v outlet NEVER turns off, so turning the engine off and having a portable jump start box just in case, seems the best option for good weather days. To clarify, the portable jump start box would be used to start the C-Max if the battery drains too much by using the 12v cargo area outlet?

There are many power points on my 2018 C-MAX. Which ones draw on the hybrid engine battery and which ones draw on the gasoline engine battery? Why the question? If I'm camping, which outlet(s) should be used overnight to insure the engine starter battery is not drained?
