The electricity comes from the batteries. The electricity then is converted into mechanical energy from the motor which is then put through the drive train to power the wheels.

Wait for the power to be turned off, or for a trained electrical technician to cut the power to the wires. As long as you are not grounded, the electric current will not flow through you. Of course, if the electric discharge starts a fire, you may not have this option. You would have to leave the car without touching its metal exterior or any live wires, which is an extremely hazardous undertaking...........wait for someone from the power company to come to help
