The special risks associated with conducting crash tests on E-vehicles can be divided into two main categories: (1) thermal activity inside the battery (resulting from electrical or mechanical abuse) may lead to energetic emission of harmful and/or flammable gases, thermal runaway, and potentially fire; and (2) the risk of electrocution. Procedures to ensure protection from all types of risk must be integrated into the entire crash test process. This SAE Information Report is intended to provide guidance in this endeavor using current best practices at the time of this publication. As both battery technology and battery management system technology are in a phase of expansion, the contents of this report must then be gaged against current technology of the time and updated periodically to retain its applicability and usefulness.
