Seem to recall reading the hybrids are running in the neighborhood of 400v to their motors (hence the big orange caution wrapping around the cables).
The Ford Escape Hybrid uses a 600V battery, and when the dealership I used to work at started getting them in there was some special equipment from Ford that they had to buy to service them. The best one was a 6' piece of PVC pipe, used to "remove a technician who forgot to unplug the battery"! I nearly fell on the floor laughing about that one! It seems that SOMEONE had already been electrocuted by the battery, and a non-conducting instrument was used to get them off the car. This is no joke, which makes the Ford supplied piece of PVC pipe even more funny!
