ES Design and Installation

In Simple Terms

When the external charger isn't plugged in, there shouldn't be any dangerous high voltage electricity accessible between the battery pack and the charging port. This is a safety requirement to protect team members and anyone who might touch the car.

• High voltage power must be safely isolated when no charger is connected
• The rule applies to the connection pathway between the main battery enclosure and the external charging connector
• This is a safety protection measure for personnel working on or around the car
• The isolation must prevent access 'by any reasonable means' - meaning accidental contact shouldn't expose anyone to danger
