Can New Energy Vehicles Be Submerged in Water?
1 Answers
If the water level does not reach the battery, there will be no problem; if the battery is submerged but for less than half an hour, there will also be no issue. However, if it exceeds half an hour, it can be very dangerous. After submersion, the following should be checked: Although the battery has sufficient waterproofing capabilities, electrical leakage or short circuits can still occur at the plugs or positive and negative terminal posts. After a new energy vehicle is submerged, besides checking the battery, the connection points such as plugs should also be inspected. Water Wading Capability of New Energy Vehicles: Since new energy vehicles do not have exhaust systems, their water wading capability is slightly better than that of fuel-powered vehicles. The highest water level they can handle is up to the lower skirt.
