ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) RESPONSE
CONSIDERATIONS
In the event of damage, re, or ooding involving an electric vehicle:
• Always assume the high voltage (HV) battery and associated components are energized
and fully charged.
• Exposed electrical components, wires, and HV batteries present potential HV shock
hazards.
• Venting/o-gassing HV battery vapors are potentially toxic and ammable.
• Physical damage to the vehicle or HV battery may result in immediate or delayed release
of toxic and/or ammable gases and re.
• A HV battery in a ooded vehicle may have high voltage and short circuits that can shock
and cause res.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE INITIAL STEPS
Immobilize the Vehicle
1. Block the wheels
2. Set parking brake
3. Place vehicle into NEUTRAL (N)
The layout of the high voltage system is shown in Figure 3. Items in orange indicate high
voltage components and cables.

NOTICE
NOTICE
The high voltage system discharge procedure is designed to disable the vehicle HV
system, NOT to discharge the HV batteries. The batteries will remain energized after
this procedure is completed.
WARNING
This vehicle does not have an internal combustion engine. Lack of noise does not
mean the vehicle is OFF.
1. If vehicle is on, turn the vehicle ignition key o. Remove the key and secure away
from the vehicle. If the vehicle is tted with a LV battery cuto switch, turn it to the OFF
position and lockout.
2. Remove LV battery cover to get access to the battery terminals/circuit breakers.
