Dear Cor, It is not a case of WOULD they work on a vehicle that have not been trained to SAFELY work on. But, SHOULD they ?? NO ! As you may be aware I am attempting to promote awareness ot the needed additional procedures for anyone working NEAR high voltage. (And I intend to train a few of them myself, because I am qualified to do so...)See my Video on You Tube. I feel the TESLA fires were the sort of publicity we do not want.. But ad EV owner working on some simple task on his or her car and being killed by the high voltage, that, would disturb me even more. (And not all EV and HEV owner has had the advantage of the great advice on the EVDL !
