Electric and hybrid vehicles can move unexpectedly during emergencies, even after a crash or apparent power loss. The updated Emergency Plug® for First Responders helps prevent unintended vehicle movement by simulating a charging connection and forcing the vehicle into its built-in charging safety mode.

When inserted into the EV’s charge port, the plug communicates with the vehicle and disables the drivetrain, helping create a safer working environment for firefighters, rescue personnel, tow operators, and technicians. The updated version expands compatibility across modern EV platforms and includes multiple adapter options to support a wide range of charging interfaces.

Key Features & Benefits

Prevents Vehicle Movement
Activates manufacturer charging safety logic to disable drive capability in full-electric and hybrid vehicles.

Expanded Multi-Vehicle Compatibility
Designed to interface with common EV charging configurations used across passenger vehicles, commercial fleets, and transit vehicles.

Includes Multiple Adapters
Adapter system allows responders to connect to different charge port styles encountered in the field.

Instant Visual Status Feedback
Multicolor LED indicator communicates plug status and connection confirmation for responder confidence.

No High-Voltage Contact
Communicates only through low-voltage signaling pins. No exposure to high-voltage vehicle components.

Maintains 12V Vehicle Functions
Allows operation of lights, windows, seats, and other low-voltage systems for victim access and scene management.

Rapid Deployment
Insert directly into the charge port. No vehicle unlocking or complex procedures required.

Non-Destructive Operation
Vehicle returns to normal operation once the plug is removed.

Compact & Apparatus Ready
Portable design for storage in rescue tool compartments, officer vehicles, or EV response kits.

How It Works

The EV Emergency Plug communicates with the vehicle through the charging interface by simulating standard charging communication signals. Once connected, the vehicle recognizes an active charging condition and automatically disables propulsion.

This allows responders to stabilize the vehicle quickly while maintaining access to essential vehicle systems. Visual indicators confirm when the vehicle is secured.
