Total Safety Solutions has developed a universal “off switch” for electric vehicles: the Emergency Plug®. This allows vehicles to be instantly disabled in case of an emergency or maintenance. This creates a safe working environment and reduces the extensive protocol for first responders, for example, to a few seconds.
The Emergency Plug® was developed to prevent unpredictable driving behavior of fully electric and hybrid electric vehicles (EVs) during emergencies and regular maintenance. The plug clearly shows, through color codes, whether the EV can drive away or not. This creates and ensures a safe working environment.
Although each EV plug requires a different signal, the Emergency Plug® simulates the different charging protocols of each EV. This allows Total Safety Solutions to guarantee that the Emergency Plug® is suitable for all EVs that meet the safety protocols of the UN ECE R100 regulations.
