Which vehicles are required to use orange cables to identify high-voltage systems?

• A. Any hybrid or electric car with a high-voltage battery
• B. Only fully electric trucks
• C. Gas-powered hybrids only
• D. Commercial buses with high-voltage

Answer: (A)

Orange cables identify high-voltage systems to alert anyone working on or around the vehicle to treat those circuits as hazardous. This signaling is required on any vehicle that includes a high-voltage battery, meaning both hybrid and fully electric cars. The option that covers any hybrid or electric car with a high-voltage battery is correct because it applies to all such vehicles, not just trucks or buses, and not only gas-powered hybrids. The other choices limit the requirement to specific vehicle types, which isn’t accurate for universal high-voltage safety signaling.
