| Electric vehicles are becoming more common on our roads, and with that comes the need for drivers and vehicle owners to understand how their vehicles differ from traditional gasoline-powered cars.
In an emergency, information is one of the most valuable tools a first responder can have. Knowing your vehicle’s make and model, understanding its basic systems, and being familiar with the information provided by the manufacturer can help emergency crews quickly identify potential hazards.
EV owners are encouraged to take a few minutes before an emergency happens to learn about their vehicle and its emergency features. Keep your vehicle’s emergency information accessible and make sure anyone who regularly drives the vehicle knows it is electric.
For our fire and EMS crews, every second matters. The more information available about a vehicle involved in an incident, the better prepared responders can be to safely manage the scene.
Take a few minutes today to learn about your EV. It could make a difference when seconds count.
