Key Training Focus Areas
High-Voltage Safety: Provide instruction on identifying and avoiding high-voltage components in EVs (e.g., battery packs, power cables).
EV Fire Behavior: Demonstrate fire behaviors of EVs, particularly lithium-ion battery fires, and appropriate suppression tactics (e.g., copious amounts of water for cooling).
Extrication Procedures: Address unique challenges of extrication from EVs, including avoiding high-voltage systems and dealing with reinforced vehicle frames.
Charging Station Incidents: Train on how to handle incidents at EV charging stations and the associated electrical hazards.
