[AylaAnn]

Flooding can damage the engine of an electric vehicle and even render it scrapped. Precautions for driving a pure electric vehicle through water: According to national standards and some local standards, qualified electric vehicles are considered relatively safe when driving through heavy rain or water with a depth of less than 30 cm. However, during water wading, attention should be paid to the driving speed, which should not be too fast, and sudden acceleration or deceleration should be avoided to prevent large surges. Handling methods for a flooded pure electric vehicle: After the entire vehicle is flooded, do not attempt to restart the vehicle. In this case, it should be handed over to professionals to inspect the insulation performance of the vehicle and the electrical condition of the body before any further action is taken. Because the insulation condition of the vehicle is difficult to assess at this time.
