Like conventionally fueled vehicles, hybrid-electric vehicles are required to meet all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS)
Additionally, they must meet FMVSS 305, Electric Powered Vehicles: electrolyte spillage and electric shock protection. This standard specifies limits for electrolyte spillage, battery retention, and post-crash electrical isolation of the chassis from the high voltage system in vehicles that use electricity as propulsion power.
