In the event of damage or fire involving an
electric vehicle (EV) or hybrid-electric
vehicle (HEV):
•
Always assume the high-voltage battery
and associated components are
energized and fully charged.
•
Exposed electrical components, wires
and high-voltage batteries present
potential high-voltage shock hazards.
•
Venting/off-gassing high-voltage battery
vapors are potentially toxic and
flammable.
•
Physical damage to the vehicle or
high-voltage battery may result in
immediate or delayed release of toxic,
flammable gases and fire.
