Niro EV is an electric vehicle. Emergency responders should respond to emergency
scenarios involving the Niro EV accordingly, exercising extreme care and caution to avoid
contact with the high voltage system within the vehicle.
The following procedures should be used whenever you are dealing with a
Niro EV at an
emergency scene. All other operations should be consistent with your department’s
standard operating procedures or guides. When an EV is damaged in a crash, the high
voltage safety systems may have been compromised and present a potential high voltage
electrical shock hazard. Exercise caution and wear appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE) safety gear, including high voltage safety gloves and boots. Remove all
metallic jewelry, including watches and rings.
