Electric Vehicle Safety Features

EVs incorporate safety mechanisms to reduce risks during recovery, but proper handling is essential.

  • High-Voltage Isolation:
    • High-voltage systems are isolated from the chassis, minimizing shock risks even after severe crashes.
  • Automatic Safety Features:
    • High-Voltage Shutdown: Triggered during crashes when airbags deploy.
    • Circuit Fault Protection: Fuses disable high-voltage systems when faults or damage occur.
  • Responder Precaution:
    • Never assume the high-voltage system is deactivated; always verify and perform manual disconnection as needed.
