Can an Electric Tricycle Motor Still Run After Water Intrusion?
1 Answers
Electric vehicles can still be used after water intrusion. Water exposure affects electric vehicles in three main aspects: Damaging the controller: Although motor controllers are designed to be waterproof, their water resistance is generally not particularly effective. Water entering the controller can directly cause it to burn out. Short circuit at connections: If water enters the motor, it can cause short circuits at the connection points, especially in cases of deep water immersion. Battery damage: If water enters the battery compartment, it can directly cause a short circuit between the positive and negative terminals. The mild consequence is battery damage, while the most severe outcome could be the battery burning out or even exploding.
