High Voltage Power Cable / Component
High voltage cables are shown in orange. There are high voltage cables that run through the
door sill extrusion providing protection to the cables. 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 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 3-phase alternating current (AC) that the drive
units use to power the wheels.
