Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicle Considerations
In the event of damage to or fire involving an electric vehicle:
Always assume the High Voltage battery and associated components are energized and fully charged.
Exposed electrical components, wires, and High Voltage batteries present potential HV shock hazards.
Venting/off-gassing High Voltage battery vapors are potentially toxic and flammable.
Physical damage to the vehicle or High Voltage battery may result in immediate or delayed release of toxic
and/or flammable gases and fire.
