Receiving an electric shock from a Fit EV, however, is
highly unlikely because of the following:
•
Contact with the battery module or other high-
voltage components only can occur if it is
voltage components only can occur if it is
damaged and the contents are exposed or if it is
opened without following proper precautions.
•
Contact with the electric motor only can occur
after one of more components are removed
after one of more components are removed.
•
The high-voltage cables can be easily identified
by their distinctive orange color and contact with
them can be avoided.
If severe damage causes high-voltage components to
become exposed, responders should take appropriate
precautions and wear insulated personal protective
equipment.
