POST-INCIDENT VEHICLE INSPECTION
Loss of High-Voltage System Integrity
•
Inspect the cabling and components of the high-voltage system for damage.
•
Visible electric arcing or carbon traces are evidence of electrical isolation loss.
Fluid Leaks
•
The high-voltage battery contains lithium-ion cells. Only a small amount of clear battery fluid can leak from
damaged cells.
•
Lithium-ion battery electrolyte is clear in color and has a sweet odor. The battery contains multiple small, sealed
modules, so only a minimal amount of fluid would leak from an individually ruptured module.
•
A standard glycol-based automotive coolant is used to cool the high-voltage battery and drive unit. This coolant is
purple in color. The two reservoirs are located under the hood and in the rear of the vehicle.
•
The vehicle uses standard DOT 4 brake fluid and standard washer fluid. All reservoirs for these fluids are under the
hood.
After Inspection
•
Anyone taking custody of or working with the vehicle should be notified immediately if any issues are discovered
during inspection.
•
To minimize risk, proper isolation methods should be used when storing a potentially hazardous vehicle. See
“STORAGE AND ISOLATION”, page 41
.
•
If there are no issues identified with the vehicle, then storing it is unlikely to pose any risk greater than that of a
non-electric vehicle.
