Rescue Sheet (EV Rescue Card)
A rescue sheet is a standard document showing emergency services where to cut a car safely and where the battery, airbags and high-voltage parts are.
What is Rescue Sheet (EV Rescue Card)?
It is especially important for electric and hybrid cars. Manufacturers publish rescue sheets online. Some drivers keep a copy behind the sun visor. QR code stickers on the fuel flap or B-pillar can link rescuers directly to the rescue sheet.
How it works
A diagram shows reinforcements, gas generators and the high-voltage cut-off points.
Why it matters for your car
Do not try to cut or open high-voltage components after a crash. Tell emergency services the car is electric.
