In the video tutorials of the Varg, in the owner's manual and in their technical pdf files they write that high voltage components should be handled only by qualified personnel.
Yet it seems to me that some people change power units or batteris on their own and some buy Talarias and upgrade them on their own, without mentioning safety.
I've been wondering how safe it really is and whether people protect theirselves when doing those things. I'm starting to gather some information about it on the internet but I haven't found anything very specific yet, like a video about safety guidelines for EV maintenance with technichains showing how they do certain things, just something for general concepts like electrical grounding.
Just as an example, if I wanted to disconnect the battery, would it be a wise idea to clean its plug -probably dirty- pouring water on it before disconnecting it and then waiting until it dries? Should I wear things like insulating rubber gloves or electric static shoes?
I hope that someone can contribute to this thread, hopefully someone who has professional experience in EV maintenance and/or manufacturing.
