Inspection Recommendations
WARNING: Always wear full PPE when inspecting a potentially damaged
vehicle.
It is necessary to inspect the vehicle post-incident to ensure that the high-voltage
system has properly shut down and the battery system has not been damaged.
It is strongly recommended to inspect the vehicle twice: once at the incident scene,
and again after the vehicle has been stored off-site.
• The inspection process at the scene of the incident may be limited due to time
constraints or lack of accessible PPE. A second inspection should be performed
after the vehicle has been moved to a storage or repair facility, where time and
resources are more available.
• There is a potential risk of delayed fire or fire re-ignition with damaged lithium-ion
batteries. A second post-incident inspection may catch such delayed reactions
before they progress to dangerous levels.
Until inspections have been completed, the vehicle should remain in isolation. See
Storage and Isolation, page
Potential Hazards
Electric vehicles with damaged high-voltage systems may pose hazards during
transit or storage, including:
• Loss of electrical isolation
• Exposure to potentially toxic materials and/or fumes
• Possible vehicle or battery fires due to re-ignition
Because of these potential hazards, the vehicle should remain isolated until after it
has passed inspections. See
Tow operators, storage facility personnel, and vehicle owners should be made
aware of these risks when transporting and storing a damaged electric vehicle.
