Can New Energy Vehicles Still Drive When Submerged in Water?
1 Answers
New energy vehicles can still drive when submerged in water. Here are the relevant details: 1. Battery Pack Protection Level: The key components of new energy vehicles are the battery, motor, and electronic control system. Their power comes from the battery pack, which is designed for automotive use and thus has a higher protection level than ordinary batteries. Generally, the power battery packs of pure electric vehicles meet the IP67 standard, meaning they can withstand submersion in 1-meter-deep water for about half an hour without issues, though prolonged exposure poses some risks. 2. New Energy Vehicles: New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or conventional vehicle fuels with new on-board power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving systems, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and innovative structures.
