This guide is intended only for use by trained and certified rescuers and first responders. It assumes that 
readers have a comprehensive understanding of how safety systems work and have completed the 
appropriate training and certification required to safely handle rescue situations. Therefore, this guide 
provides only the specific information required to understand and safely handle Tesla Supercharger 
equipment in an emergency situation. It describes how to identify Supercharger equipment, and provides the 
locations and descriptions of its high voltage components. This guide includes the high voltage disabling 
procedure and any safety considerations specific to Supercharger equipment. Failure to follow 
recommended practices or procedures can result in serious injury or death.  

Supercharger equipment is constantly evolving, and multiple generations of hardware exist. The images in 
this guide might not match the equipment you are working on. Any major changes regarding high voltage 
components across equipment generations will be explicitly outlined in this guide.
