The EV6 is an electric vehicle. Emergency responders should respond to emergency
scenarios involving the EV6 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 EV6 at an
emergency scene. However, all operations should be consistent with your department’s
standard operating procedures, guidelines, and any applicable laws. 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.
