Too Afraid to Ask

High voltage means the electricity in the car is much stronger than what you find in your home. It can be dangerous if you're not careful when working on the car.

Technical Definition

High voltage refers to electrical systems that operate at a voltage level significantly above the standard household voltage, which can pose safety risks if not handled properly. In hybrid vehicles, high voltage is used to power the electric motor and other components.
