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:
- Emergency Battery Disconnect: For added safety, our vehicle is equipped with an emergency disconnect button 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.
Switch Lab EV Program in Action
The Switch Lab EV provides a comprehensive, modular build progression that enables schools to launch or expand electric vehicle programs with confidence, without the need to rebuild facilities or redevelop curriculum from the ground up.
Switch Vehicles was built specifically for instructors who want to teach EV systems with clarity, safety, and flexibility. Our EV training systems and complete pathway are designed to integrate directly into CTE, STEM, and automotive programs without requiring you to overhaul how you teach.
What makes the Switch approach different is the progression. Students do not start with abstract theory or donor vehicles. They build understanding step by step, from foundational electrical concepts to full vehicle systems.
