Safety Minded
At Switch Vehicles, safety is prioritized, ensuring that every hands-on learning experience with our electric vehicle is both educational and secure. Here’s a look at the robust safety features we’ve integrated:
- Manual Service Disconnect: An industry standard safety component that allows technicians to manually isolate the high voltage battery pack during maintenance or emergencies.
- Emergency Battery Disconnect: For added safety, our vehicle is equipped with an emergency disconnect button on the dashboard that effectively splits the battery pack in half, reducing a 96v system to a safer 48v in an instant.
- Protected Design: The vehicle’s frame is fully insulated to enhance safety during operation and maintenance sessions.
- Dual Brake System: To ensure precise and reliable stopping power, our electric vehicle is equipped with two separate brake systems — one for the front and another for the rear.
- Built-in Steel Roll Cage: Our robust steel roll cage is designed to protect occupants by reinforcing the vehicle’s structure, offering peace of mind during operation.
- Insulated Tools: Safety extends to maintenance too. We provide a specially curated insulated tool kit, essential for safe handling during vehicle servicing.
- High Voltage Safety Package: Everything you need to ensure student safety. OSHA approved and certified equipment: HV glove set (level 0), nylon hook, warning labels, and protective glasses.
