See the high voltage (HV) components of a 2021 Ford Mustang Mach E GT! Almost every electric vehicle has these same high voltage components. Learn their names and their basic functions.

I have been away from Youtube for eight months developing a new training curriculum for my college classes and the hybrid and electric vehicle classes I offer to the public. I am back now and will be releasing new videos as quickly as I am able.

CORRECTIONS:
I was wrong about the hood electric open hood only, there is a release handle, but it is behind electrically opened doors. If the doors were locked when the 12V battery died, then a special procedure shown here is needed.
