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
Incident Vehicle Inspection, page
• 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
Vehicle Inspection, page
• 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.

Isolation Methods

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.
