We show that in two Higgs doublet models at tree-level the potential minimum preserving electric charge and CP symmetries, when it exists, is the global one. Furthermore, we derived a very simple condition, involving only the coefficients of the quartic terms of the potential, that guarantees spontaneous CP breaking.

In order to compute the difference between the value of potential at $N1$ and at any other SP, we follow the work of [ref] , which is based on a formalism of bilinears.

Now, to calculate the difference in potential depth between two coexisting minima, we follow the bilinear formalism detailed in Refs. [ref] ; see also Refs. [ref] for recent works.

Crucially, though, this foray into the many possible vacua of the model revealed that neither of the vacua of interest – the Dark Matter minimum or the minimum which preserves custodial symmetry – are automatically stable, as occurs for instance in the 2HDM [ref] , a model for which it was proven that minima which break different symmetries cannot coexist.

Ignoring the CP-odd and charged Higgs directions is motivated by the absence of any spontaneous CP or charge breaking in the Higgs sector of the 2HDM [ref] (and thus the MSSM).

However, it has been shown in [ref] that if a local charge-conserving minimum exists, then there can be no charge-breaking minima (there may exist a stationary point with $u≠0$, which is a saddle point).

This second minimum, even if it exists, cannot be charge-breaking: as shown in [ref] , the presence of a neutral minimum makes any possible charge-breaking extremum a saddle point.

As a result of this, in the 2HDM, the possible vacua are categorized as follows [ref] : (i) neutral minimum, (ii) $CP$-violating minimum, (iii) charge-breaking minimum.

From the theoretical point of view, these models are usually confronted with two conditions: (i) the electroweak vacuum must be stable or at least sufficiently long-lived [ref] , (ii) unitarity should not be violated [ref] .
