• The EV has been in a minor accident but shows no visible signs of thermal runaway or severe structural damage.
• There’s visible damage near the battery housing or high-voltage cables, but no active fire or thermal event.
• The recovery involves uneven terrain or minor instability that requires careful vehicle handling.
• Some evidence of coolant or battery electrolyte leaks, requiring containment and cleanup.
These intermediate scenarios involve moderate hazards, often requiring extra precautions due to potential risks or challenging conditions. In general, there is potential exposure to damaged high-voltage components, the presence of uneven ground or minor contamination, or recovery that requires handling small leaks or damage to the vehicle structure.
