Can a New Energy Vehicle Still Be Used After Being Submerged in Water?
1 Answers
New energy vehicles may not be significantly affected by minor water ingress, but large-scale water submersion could potentially render even pure electric vehicles inoperable. Below is some information regarding water submersion in new energy vehicles: 1. Causes of Damage: This is primarily because electric vehicles have numerous circuits and key components such as batteries, drive motors, and controllers that are susceptible to water damage. Even with excellent waterproofing features, prolonged submersion is not advisable. 2. Precautions: Pure electric vehicles are well-constructed and designed with reasonable layouts, featuring protective devices between circuits. Most importantly, they use lithium batteries. In the event of the aforementioned issue, the driver is unlikely to suffer significant harm. However, in cases of large-scale or prolonged water ingress, it is difficult to guarantee that electric shock accidents will not occur.
