Does deep water wading affect new energy vehicles?
2 Answers
Deep water wading does not affect new energy vehicles, as they are powered by batteries and do not have internal combustion engines, eliminating concerns about air intake and exhaust. Below is relevant information about new energy vehicles: 1. Introduction: New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that utilize unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new types of onboard power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving to form vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and novel structures. 2. Classification: New energy vehicles include pure electric vehicles, extended-range electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, etc.
To be honest, if a new energy vehicle drives into deep water, I really have to remind everyone to be careful. The main concern is the battery pack, which is particularly vulnerable. For example, the high-voltage battery in electric vehicles is usually installed under the car. Once the water level rises above the wheel height, water infiltration can easily cause short circuits, fires, or complete failure. Other components like controllers and charging ports can also malfunction, potentially leading to a total system breakdown. I remember a neighbor’s car had its battery soaked after heavy rain, costing over ten thousand yuan to repair—it was a huge hassle. For daily driving, it’s best to avoid flooded areas, especially during heavy rain—don’t risk driving through water. Most new energy vehicles have a specified wading depth limit in the manual, usually around 30 cm or less for safety. Don’t underestimate water damage—it not only harms the car but could also leave you stranded on the road, which is very dangerous. Regularly checking the undercarriage seals is also crucial; during maintenance, ask the technician to inspect for any signs of wear and tear.
