Can Electric Vehicles Drive Through Deep Water?

[DelGage]

Whether an electric vehicle can drive through deep water depends on the specific water depth. If the water is too deep, it is still not recommended to drive through it. Although many electric vehicles currently have good waterproof functions, it does not mean they can frequently drive in deep water. Below are precautions for driving through water: 1. Drive in low gear: Use a low gear (for automatic transmission models, engage the climbing gear) and drive slowly and steadily through the waterlogged area while maintaining control of the direction. Be aware of any potholes or gaps in the road beneath the water. 2. Do not restart the engine after stalling: If the vehicle stalls in a waterlogged area, remember not to restart the engine. Engine stalling indicates that water has entered the cylinders. Restarting the engine can cause severe damage to the piston connecting rod components due to the incompressibility of water, and in severe cases, it may even lead to the complete scrapping of the engine.
