05.5 EV Rescue 101

What is EV Rescue 101?

In our travels around Australia and the world, we speak to a huge range of experts in road rescue, disaster recovery, thermal runaway and electric vehicle emergency response. Some have studied the topic, others have lived it in real world incidents.

In the past, our team has absorbed this knowledge and tried to share it, but we believe knowledge on vital topics like patient extrication, recovery from flood waters or major wildfires, vapour cloud explosion risk and others is best told by the person with the experience.

EV Rescue 101 is a free global webinar series where we ask the people with the experience to share their life-saving knowledge across borders.

EV Rescue 101 provides additional important context to first and second responders who've completed Electric Responder or EV Secondary Response training with our team, or anyone wanting to know more about techniques for road rescue, recovery and EV incidents.

Webinars are run on the first Tuesday of the month, from 7-9pm AEST. All sessions will be recorded and posted to YouTube for other timezones who can't make the live sessions.
