In a recent survey performed by J.D. Power, in the first quarter of 2023, 20.8% of EV drivers using public charging stations experienced charging failures or equipment malfunctions.
Damage to cables and charging equipment, through wear and tear, accidental damage, vandalism, theft or otherwise, can increase the risk of electric shock. Another potential source of electric shock is ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) failure.
One of the main risks associated with EV chargers is the electrical hazard risk. The high voltage and current involved in charging an electric vehicle can be dangerous if not handled properly. A faulty charger could cause electric shocks or fires, leading to personal injury or property damage.
Electric shocks do happen, but to reduce the severity of the injury, use recommended basic electrical safety measures, such as an electrically insulating (Rhino Switchboard) mat when connecting or disconnecting power cables and energizing.
The EV Safety Mat™ by Rhino provides portable insulation when near high-voltage equipment. It is available in 24” X 36” and 36” X 36” sizes and can be easily stored and carried to public or home charging stations.
Tested to ASTM D178/ANSI J6.7 specifications with certification printed on the back. Type 1, Class 1, 3/16” Thick
EV Safety Mat™ is also available in cut lengths from 3ft rolls for non-attached flooring in home garage applications.
3’ × 4’, 3’ × 5’, 3’ × 6’, 3’ × 8’, 3’ × 10’, 3’ × 12’ & 3’ × 16’
