Co-founder and first responder Phil Scarf:

“The batteries are no longer just located under the hood like gas vehicles, every EVhas the location of their batteries in different locations and could take several minutes to find them along with high voltage cable cut locations. Every vehicle has different jacking points, with the high voltage battery usually located below the entire occupant compartment and it is crucial to know exact jacking locations to avoid puncturing a fuel cell which can lead to an unsafe situation for both occupants and first responders.”

The most common question we receive is how often is the data updated? Unlike traditional response guides, as soon as we receive the updates or the release of new vehicles the data is automatically updated in the app.

The EVRescue App is available for individual firefighters/first responders as well as all station apparatus iPads or Android tablets. To download the app go to EvRescueApp.com. Or the App Store/Google Play Store and search “EVRescue”
