Can a Flooded New Energy Vehicle Still Be Used After Repair?
1 Answers
This depends on the extent of flooding and the professionalism of the repairs. If the flooding is not too severe, replacing the affected components may suffice. However, if the flooding is severe, requiring repairs to the engine and other critical parts, the vehicle might seem fine initially but could develop frequent issues after a few years. Below are relevant details: Water level barely above the wheels: In this case, the chassis is mostly submerged. If the submersion is brief, the damage is usually minor, and such flooded vehicles may still be acceptable. Water level above the engine hood: At this point, water begins entering the engine compartment and may seep into the car's interior. Water level above the roof: The entire vehicle is submerged. The latter two scenarios are considered severe. Unless the price is extremely low, it is not advisable to purchase such vehicles, as they may lead to significant losses in the long run.
