EMS 3.2 – Secondary Inspection of the Vehicle Post-Delivery

Secondary inspections are critical to ensuring the safety of damaged EVs after delivery to a facility. These inspections help verify the stability of the high-voltage system, assess for residual risks like thermal runaway, and determine the appropriate handling and storage protocols. SAE J2990 recommends conducting this inspection within 24 hours of vehicle arrival, involving thermal checks and potential de-powering to prevent secondary ignition.

This lesson covers the recommended steps for secondary inspection of the vehicle, post-delivery.
