Believe the EU has a requirement for all high-voltage lines ( > 60V or so), if exposed, to be marked orange.

Another view of the orange wires.  The caption was "Brammo Empulse attends the opening of new REI store in Medford".

Good point Protomech.  I've noticed a lot of orange cables in other EV photos.  It would be nice if there were a global safety standard so first-responders know what they are looking at if there is an accident.

With that said, if there are going to be orange lines, then I'd like there to be a cover over them.  It wouldn't be too bad with the all black, but it would bother me with the red.

Hmmm...  If the giants win the world series again then maybe that will help with my color choice... ;)

I like the fat orange wires. Looks legit 8) Perhaps we will see more pictures tomorrow with Scuderia showing these beasts off.

Another reason for a fairing... it hides the big orange wires.
