How is the wading capability of new energy vehicles?

Superior to traditional vehicles. Compared to conventional fuel-powered cars, electric vehicles have certain advantages in wading capability as they do not need to consider intake and exhaust requirements, and their battery packs feature an IP67 waterproof rating. Even when submerged in water, they will not cause electric leakage resulting in personal injury. Precautions: Caution is still necessary, as the actual depth of waterlogged sections is difficult to discern, and the complex components in rainwater may cause some corrosion to metal parts such as motors, battery casings, and the vehicle body. It is advisable to avoid wading whenever possible and to comply with traffic regulations while driving cautiously. Handling methods: If the vehicle has already taken in water, the first step should be to move away from the waterlogged area and then clean out the accumulated water inside the car. If the vehicle cannot continue to drive and is stuck in the waterlogged area, the power supply should be cut off immediately. If the vehicle is severely flooded, evacuate the occupants to a safe location first, then call for emergency assistance.

As someone who frequently drives in rainy conditions, I've found that new energy vehicles have impressive water-wading capabilities. The battery and electrical systems are exceptionally well-sealed, with an IP67 waterproof rating meaning they can withstand being submerged in 1 meter of water for half an hour without issues. Driving through normal water depths of 30-50 cm is completely safe, as there's no exhaust pipe to worry about water intake stalling the engine. I once drove through heavy rain with water almost reaching the door level, and the new energy vehicle passed through steadily without any malfunctions - the motor responded quickly with ample power. But don't mistake it for a submarine; excessively deep water or strong currents could impact the undercarriage and damage components. It's best not to exceed the manufacturer's recommended depth, and after wading, gently accelerate to help dry off any moisture. Overall, this design makes daily commuting more reassuring, especially during the rainy season.

As someone who has driven for many years, I find that new energy vehicles are indeed more convenient when wading through water compared to traditional fuel-powered cars. In the past, driving a fuel-powered car, I was always afraid of water entering the exhaust system and causing the engine to stall. However, with the exhaust-free design of new energy vehicles, this is no longer a concern. The battery pack's waterproofing reaches IP67 level, so driving in water up to 40 cm deep is no problem under normal conditions. I've tested it during urban floods—even with water covering half the tires, the car ran smoothly, thanks to the strong protection of the electronic systems. However, if the water exceeds the door sill, it can be dangerous, potentially causing short circuits or affecting the suspension. After wading through water, it's best to stop for a while and check the dashboard warning lights before driving at high speeds. Overall, it eliminates a lot of hassle and is well-suited for areas with frequent rainfall.

From the perspective of safety-conscious car owners, new energy vehicles have decent water-wading capabilities, but it's crucial to assess the situation realistically. Their waterproof designs can handle 30-50 cm of water, with well-sealed batteries that aren't bothered by minor flooding. However, driving in excessively deep water or strong currents may compromise sealing rings due to water pressure, potentially leading to short circuits. My experience suggests checking for water dripping underneath after wading and maintaining low speed for a while before stopping—this aspect is notably more worry-free compared to fuel-powered vehicles.
