Can New Energy Vehicles Still Be Used After Being Flooded?
1 Answers
New energy vehicles may not be significantly affected by minor water ingress, but large-scale flooding could render even pure electric vehicles unusable. Here are some key points about flooded 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, all of which are sensitive to water. Even with excellent waterproofing features, prolonged immersion can cause severe damage. 2. Precautions: Pure electric vehicles are well-constructed and designed with reasonable protection between circuits. Most importantly, they use lithium batteries, so in the event of minor flooding, drivers are unlikely to face significant harm. However, in cases of large-scale or prolonged water ingress, there is no guarantee against the risk of electric shock incidents.
