Store the Vehicle
Be careful when storing a damaged Rivian electric vehicle after an accident or fire. Be sure to
secure it when you
park it.
1. Use signage or some other visual indicator to identify it as an electric vehicle.
2. Store the vehicle outside at least 50 ft away from other vehicles, structures, or combustible material.
NOTE
If this spacing can't be achieved, place the vehicle where it can quickly be towed or winched away.
Consider access for fire personnel, fire apparatus, and a water supply and leave space for fire
personnel to periodically and quickly reassess with thermal imaging.
3. Notify others that the vehicle is on the property and ask them not to interact with it unless authorized.
4. Monitor a vehicle with a damaged high-voltage battery for signs of gas emissions, fire, or any potential issues
from a leak.
