Guidance for Ford Motor Company Electric and
Hybrid-Electric Vehicles 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 and 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.
Vehicle Information and General Safety Practices
-
Know the make and model of your vehicle.
-
Review the owner’s manual and become familiar with your
vehicle’s safety information and recommended safety practices.
-
Do not attempt to repair damaged electric and
hybrid-electric vehicles yourself. Contact an authorized Ford Dealer or
vehicle manufacturer representative for service.
Crashes
-
A crash or impact significant enough to require an emergency
response for conventional vehicles would also require the same response
for an electric or hybrid-electric vehicle.
If possible

When emergency responders arrive, tell them that the vehicle involved is an electric vehicle or hybrid vehicle.
Fires
As with any vehicle, call emergency assistance immediately if you see sparks, smoke or flames coming from the vehicle.
