Stop Charging in Case of an Emergency
If a vehicle is damaged or on fire while connected to a charger during an emergency, the safest thing is to turn off
the electricity. Shut down the main breaker for the charger and then inspect the situation. If a vehicle is damaged
and at risk of a fire, you can attempt to disconnect the charging cable from the vehicle.
IMPORTANT
A Rivian vehicle includes software that automatically senses battery issues and shuts off charging.
However, if the fire is not battery related or the vehicle continues charging, try the charge plug
disconnection procedures below.
SHUT DOWN THE MAIN BREAKER
Use the main breaker to shut down the power to
the charger. It's normally in the line of sight from the
charger.
