Equipped With High Voltage Batteries
(Vehicle Owner/Operator/General Public)
Electric and Hybrid-Electric Vehicle
Considerations 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.
