This paper describes a study of the high-voltage safety of an electric vehicle under rear impactconditions to ensure that it is in accordance with Chinese regulations. The high-voltage safety has been analyzed and optimizedfrom several perspectives and includes the development of a high-voltage cutoff strategy, assessment of the integrity of thehigh-voltage components after the crash, the layout of the high-voltage and low-voltage cables, and the crashworthiness ofthe structure.
