STORAGE AND ISOLATION
STORAGE AND ISOLATION
Storing Damaged Vehicles
•
Until it has been properly inspected, do not store a vehicle with any evident or possible damage to the high-voltage
system inside a structure. See
“POST-INCIDENT VEHICLE INSPECTION”, page 34 .
•
If possible, open both windows and doors while the vehicle is in storage to encourage ventilation. This can prevent
build-up of toxic and/or flammable gases released from a damaged battery.
•
Avoid exposing a vehicle with a damaged high-voltage system to the elements (e.g. rain or snow).
•
Notify all personnel of the storage facility of the vehicle’s inspection results, and of the risks involved in storing a
damaged electric vehicle. See
“POST-INCIDENT VEHICLE INSPECTION”, page 34 .
•
Mark the vehicle clearly to identify it as an electric vehicle with a potentially dangerous high-voltage system.
•
Maintain clear access to the stored vehicle for continued monitoring and (if needed) emergency response.
Methods of Isolation
Use either of the following methods when isolating a damaged electric vehicle:
Open-Perimeter Isolation
An area in which the vehicle is separated from all structures and combustibles by at least 50 feet (15 meters) from any
side, including overhead.
Barrier Isolation
An area in which the vehicle is separated from all structures and combustibles by barriers with the following properties:
•
The barrier should be built with concrete, steel, solid masonry, or earth.
•
The height of the barrier should be sufficient to shield any adjacent combustibles from heat or flames.
•
If an open side is left in the barrier, then that open side should be separated from all structures and combustibles by
at least 50 feet (15 meters).
•
Barrier roofs are not recommended, as they could exacerbate potential hazards such as fires or built-up gases.
