It could be as simple as the 12vdc battery is dead. First thing I'd try if it wasn't already towed away would be to try jump starting the vehicle. Everything pretty much still uses 12vdc parts except the EV drivetrain, so if there's not enough juice to keep all of the computers running when you try to start it, you'll get all sorts of weird symptoms, one of which is it won't start. Note, while jump starting the PHEV is possible and safe, using it as a source to jump start others is prohibited based on what the User's Manual says...the PHEV's ability to source the (maybe short-term) high current surge to start another vehicle is just not safe with the PHEV's 12vdc supply.

If it's something else, it could get more complicated.
