Does any one have a video or pictures of removing the kick panels on the driver side.
I'm trying to run cables from the obd port for power to a spigen one tap.
I looked under there today and see that the knee airbag is right there and got me thinking.
On a ICE vehicle, usually disconnect the battery when working on electrical circuits, is there something like that to do on an EV and where?

Any help would be great!

thank you

When I had my steering wheel replaced they cut power to the LV and HV system before removing the steering wheel due to the airbag. The disconnect is under the plastic cowling at the base of the windshield when the frunk is open.

I'd be very cautious about messing with either HV or LV systems on your own. I think it would be a very good way to void your battery warranty.
