ASE xEV Level 2 Hybrid & EV Practice Exam
2026 Guide
1. what does fmvss 305 classify as an xEV? alternating voltages > 30v ac rms &
direct voltages >60v dc
2. what is a level one working individual per ase hv (electrically aware) a person who's
electrical safety standard? work involves them being exposes to
an xev. they may have to drive, per-
form maintenance to non hv compo-
nents and be exposed to hv compo-
nents
3. what is a level 2 working person per ase hv high voltage vehicle technician. a
safety standard? properly trained person who per-
forms work on the hv side of the ve-
hicle
4. what is a level 3 working individual per ase hv high voltage vehicle and battery
standards? technician. attained level 2 and re-
ceived battery pack training. may
work on live circuits.
5. what is an electrically safe work condition? a state where the hv circuit is discon-
nected and locked or tagged out
6. what is the number one hazard when working electrocution
on a xev?
7. what voltages can kill? >30v ac & >60v dc
8. What is the let go threshold? 6-16 mA, this is where the current
can cause muscle contraction, result-
ing in a firm grip to the source of
electrocution

9. what are the 3 factors that determine the sever- 1) intensity, type or frequency of the
ity of an electric shock? current
2) the path the current takes
3) the length of time exposed
10. as low as of current across the heart is lethal 75mA
11. according to NIOSH 98-131 most industrial fa- lower voltages (110v-120v)
talities from electruction occur at
12. what happens to the body's resistance when the it drops exponentially
skin is burned?
13. what is the equipotential bonding line? location where propulsion compo-
nents are connected through to ve-
hicle chassis ground. proactively de-
tects potential voltages and initiates
pre-emptive isolation to prevent fail-
ures
14. how is the ground circuit setup in an xev? floating ground not connected to ve-
hicle chassis ground
15. what do you do if someone is subject to a hv 1) call 911
shock? 2) disconnect the source
3) separate the person with either
proper ppe or hot stick
16. true or false: if no hot stick is available,you may true, just do not touch the person
tackle the person
17. blisters characterize what degree burn? two
18. how is heat energy measured? calories
