7. Maintenance Types • OEM factory - dealer • Third party – repair shop - ASE • Do-it-yourself

8. Maintenance • Hybrid EVs with ICE are similar maintenance to conventional vehicles • All-electric vehicle typically require less maintenance than conventional vehicles • Braking systems typically last longer due to regenerative braking • Electric System does not require scheduled maintenance • Batteries have limited number of charging cycles based on chemistry as defined by OEM

9. Safety Programs EV Standards and Codes for OEM • Must Meet Federal Motor Safety Standards by NHTSA • www.access.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_49/49cfr571_09.html • Current FMVSS Title 49 standard 305 – • www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/rulings/lsv/lsv.htm • Safe Car Designs – www.safercar.gov • Safety Citation – www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/pdfs/48605.pdf • Emergency – www1.eere.energy.gov/vehiclesandfuels/pdfs/merit_review_2010/technology_intergration/tiarravt036_klock_2010_o.pdf • NFPA EV safety – http://evsafetytraining.org

10. Safety Practices EV Standards and Codes for OEM • Undergo the same testing as conventional vehicles • Battery packs –encased, sealed, impact, stress • Test – overcharge, vibration, temperature, fire, collision • Wired for insulated high-voltage lines and color coded • Damage – safety deactivate electric systems • Limit electrolyte spillage from batteries during crash • Charging disconnects motor starter when plugged-in • Charging cable brake-away/disconnects from charger driving

11. Safety Design Factors: High-Voltage Systems • Has two separate electrical systems • A low-voltage system (12-volt DC) powers the accessories and the SLI. • A high-voltage system (>60 volts) powers the motor generator (MG). • The high-voltage system can be up to several hundred volts so never cut them.

12. Identification: Under the Hood NAFTC • Under the hood, the voltage inverter will have decals or markings as indicated. • There may also be a marking or decal on the engine cover. • Wires will be color coded

13. Safety Design Factors: • High-Voltage Interlock Circuits • Thermal Sensors • High-Voltage GFCI circuit • Inertia Switch • High-Voltage fuse • High-Voltage Service Disconnect • High-Voltage Warning Labels NAFTC

14. General Reminders NAFTC • Even when the ICE is off, high voltage may be present. • The ICE may start at any time unless disabled. (smartkey) • HEVs can be treated much like any other vehicle in an accident. • Disconnecting the 12 volt battery disables high-voltage controller

15. Crash and Fire Procedures • Vehicle fires can be handled like any conventional vehicle except in the case of a battery fire. • In the event of a battery fire of the high-voltage battery system, use large volumes of water to help to cool battery cells around the burning cells. • Do not attempt to open the battery pack. • Use extreme caution when working in wet or damp areas • Do not cut any orange(high-voltage) cables.

16. Vehicle Occupant Safety • Primary risks are the same as a conventional vehicle. • The risk of exposure to toxic battery materials is low. Even in the event of catastrophic battery damage, the release of the electrolyte will be small. • In the event of exposure, flush with water. • Potential airbag deployment must be considered.
