At what water depth does the Ora Black Cat pose safety hazards while driving?

Ora Black Cat's maximum wading depth is 30cm, exceeding which poses safety hazards. Maximum wading depth: Maximum wading depth refers to the greatest depth of water that can be safely crossed under normal driving conditions, also known as the safe depth. It is an important indicator for evaluating a vehicle's off-road capability; the greater the maximum wading depth, the better its water-crossing ability. Precautions for wading: If you need to cross streams, ponds, or other water-covered areas, first ensure you know how to drive into the water safely. If the water depth is unknown, it's advisable to wade through on foot first to assess.

I've been driving for over 30 years, and with small electric vehicles like the Ora Black Cat, you need to be cautious about wading depth. Once the water level exceeds the height of the sill panel, approximately 15 to 20 centimeters, there are safety hazards. For example, when water submerges half of the tire, the electrical system is prone to short circuits, and the battery may get damp and damaged, leading to sudden power loss and breakdown. I've encountered cases where electric vehicles incurred high repair costs after water ingress, especially during the rainy season, so it's best to avoid deep puddles. The key advice is to pass through accumulated water slowly and at a steady speed, and if the water level exceeds ankle height, stop and find an alternative route. Regularly checking the vehicle's seals can prevent problems. When driving in the rain, pay extra attention to the depth of the road surface—safety first is the golden rule. Protecting your car means protecting yourself; don't take risks for the sake of convenience. Developing good habits can reduce the frequency of breakdowns.

When I first bought the Ora Black Cat, I learned a lesson the hard way—it started malfunctioning when the water reached knee height. At around 25 cm of water depth, the car would shake abnormally, as if the electrical components were soaked. I later researched and found that small electric vehicles have low ground clearance, and deep water can cause short circuits or battery failure. The safe water level is within 20 cm, ideally not exceeding half the tire height. When wading through water, maintain a steady speed and avoid rushing, steering clear of deep puddles. On rainy days, frequently check navigation to avoid low-lying areas. For maintenance, wash the car regularly to prevent rust and inspect the motor area for cracks. Paying attention to these small details can significantly extend your car's lifespan. While driving can be fun, wading through water carries risks—it's always better to be cautious. A car is meant to be enjoyed, not put through unnecessary hardship.

As a family car owner, my biggest concern when taking the kids out in the Ora Black Cat is water accumulation on rainy days. Water levels exceeding 15 centimeters become unsafe, as water seeping into the chassis can damage the electrical circuits and lead to loss of control. The wading depth should be kept below the sill plate, stopping when it reaches about knee height. Potential hazards include battery failure and breakdowns, which could trigger secondary accidents. It's advisable to check the weather before driving and to either detour around water or wait for it to recede. Driving techniques include moving slowly, maintaining distance, and avoiding sudden acceleration. Regular maintenance should include checking the aging of sealing strips. Safety comes first—don’t risk testing water depth. A car is a tool, and protecting it is as important as protecting your family. Developing simple habits can prevent major troubles.
