I found this article and was hopping someone with could shed the light on that possibility of "high voltage shock" from the batteries in a Hybrid car. Or is this just another attempt to suppress the sales of fuel efficient cars?
"Some emergency responders have raised questions about the likelihood of battery explosions or leaks, with the leading concern being electrocution hazards if high-voltage cables are exposed to bare metal, passengers, or rescuers. As more manufacturers plan to add hybrid models to their lineups, scrutiny on this latter issue has been increasing." Charles Reply to this comment |
