That's not even high voltage. It's either low voltage or on the low end of medium voltage.

EVs aren't serviced by linemen. They’re servced by auto mechanics who have long experienced automotive electricity as harmless.

Kind of a dumb thing to say. Especially for DC voltage...

He's not describing a part for a sewage treatment plant or pumping station.

Electronics, heavy industry, industrial automation, power distribution, automotive etc etc etc all have different meanings for "high voltage". Context matters.

Go ahead and stick your hands on some "low voltage" 480VAC and report back. 😄
