Emergency Procedures
Initial Response: Identify, Immobilize and Disable
Identify
When dealing with an Soul at an incident scene, emergency responders should always
assume that it is an electric vehicle until it can be proven otherwise, using the identification
clues outlined in this ERG. External badging will usually be the first clue but it can often be
hidden by damage caused in a crash. Always be sure to visualize multiple sides of the
vehicles as well as using clues found under the hood and in the interior of the vehicle.
The following procedures should be used whenever you are dealing with a Soul Electric
Vehicle at an emergency scene. All other operations should be consistent with your
department’s standard operating procedures or guides. Electric vehicles damaged by a
crash may have compromised high voltage safety systems and present a potential high
voltage electrical shock hazard. Exercise caution and wear appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE) safety gear, including high voltage safety gloves and boots. Remove all
metallic jewelry, including watches and rings.
