I put a little more thought into this post. One can't ignore the fact that
these batteries are rated for 600 volts and high amperage. That will more than
melt your monkey wrench. I think we all have to stay tuned...
I think the first responders may need a refresher course...
Toyota, from very early on had a course on how to handle responses on their
vehicles. They have a readily accessible disconnect. It's similar to the
protocol with airbags. IIRC Tesla had a course in the county about 6 months or
so ago. IDK because I don't get the training notices any more. I could look it
up but I'm too lazy. You would be surprised by the amount of people that leave
the ignition on & running, transmission in gear. We carry chocks. Need them for
unconscious, drunks or overdoses.
It really depends on how wadded up the car is. If a Prius gets hit by
a loaded concrete mixer, that disconnect might not be as accessible as
Toyota planned.
