Have you seen the new BMW concept? I just wonder if its like the KERS in F1 cars which have a high risk of electrocution.

If you did stick your hand in the spark plug, would it be fatal?
Is it more dangerous than doing it in anormal car?

i don’t think so unless you stick your hand in the spark plug, that will really shock you
for the most part most hybrid owners never service their own vehicles. on hybrid vehicles under the hood there is some wire harness with orange or yellow covering these are to let peaple know not to mess with this wires. wich means do not prove on them or cut them to expose wire to conect accesories like a new radio or amp. those carry very high voltage and should only be serviced by a professional. or a dealer expert. but for the most part there is no danger to any one who is driving the vehicle nor if you touch this wires with your hands most of the components are well covered to avoid accidents.2nd. it is not fatal to touch the spark plug wires but it will feel very intence remeber is about 20 to 30 thousand volts. but dont worry voltage does not kill, amperage does, and does not have lots of amparage….. still do not recomend that you touch any of this wires if you do not have the experience to work on this vehicles . good luck
