Can an Electric Vehicle Still Be Driven After Being Submerged in Water?

[AxelDella]

Driving an electric vehicle through water is generally safe. Electric vehicles on the market undergo insulation treatment, ensuring no safety hazards from water immersion or high temperatures, as long as no human-induced faults occur during charging. Under normal usage conditions, including driving through water or in high temperatures, there are no potential dangers. Signs of battery failure include: 1. Difficulty starting the car: If the car suddenly becomes hard to start without other factors, it may indicate impending battery failure. 2. Dimming lights at idle: For example, when stopping at a red light or temporarily parked, the headlights may suddenly dim due to reduced charging power from the engine at idle. 3. Battery warning light on: When the battery warning light illuminates, it signals the owner to have the battery inspected and repaired at a service center. 4. Normal driving but occasional complete power loss after parking and restarting: This happens when the battery's lifespan is ending, leading to insufficient starting current, increased oxidation at battery terminals, and resulting in a complete power loss.
