In electric/hybrid vehicles, bright blue indicates?

In electric and hybrid vehicles, bright blue indicators are typically used to denote high voltage power systems. The use of bright colors, such as blue, is intentional for safety and recognition purposes, as it helps first responders and technicians quickly identify components that operate at high voltage levels.

High voltage systems in these vehicles generally operate above 60 volts, which can be considered dangerous if not handled properly. The designation of bright blue signals to personnel that extra caution is necessary due to the electric shock potential associated with these systems.

Intermediate and lower voltage systems usually do not have the same bright blue indicators, which are specifically reserved for the most critical high voltage components. The distinction of using blue for high voltage reinforces awareness and supports safe handling practices among all who work with these vehicles. Therefore, the correct identification of the color scheme ensures that those involved in vehicle recovery, maintenance, or emergency response can take the necessary precautions when working near or on these systems.
