What risk do these vehicles pose to First responders, and tow operators.
One of the first thing done by fire units on the scene of an accident is to disconnect the battery. This is a big battery, what dangers does it pose to Firefighters and tow operators who will have to disconnect it?
Have the Manufacturers done anything to instruct responding personnel?
All kinds of resources are available for first responder, thanks for asking. I an equipment operator on a fire department and don’t have to deal directly with the hazards. The other things that have to be delt with on modern cars are all the devices including rams and gas cylinders related to the various airbags now hidden in cars.
