My neighbor is a mechanic for a dealership. They send him to classes
for the latest updates and such. He's told some stories about the warnings
related to servicing electric cars. Most of the stories start with something
to the effect of "..if you touch THIS you're dead.."

nothing of the risks to EMTs responding to crashes.
