High Voltage Power Cable / Component
High voltage cables are shown in orange. There are high voltage cables that run the length
of the battery pack on the bottom side through an extrusion providing protection. Do not
compromise these high voltage cables with rescue tools. At no time should any high voltage
cables be compromised with rescue tools. The assumption should be made that at all times
there may be high voltage present in the Orange High Voltage Cables.
Drive Units
The rear drive unit is located between the rear wheels, and the front drive unit (if equipped-
Dual Motor vehicles only) is located between the front wheels. The drive inverter is located
within the drive unit. The drive units convert Direct Current (DC) from the high voltage battery
into Alternating Current (AC) that the drive units use to power the wheels.
