What is the wading depth of electric vehicles?
1 Answers
The maximum wading depth for the vast majority of electric vehicles is 300mm. Here are some additional details: 1. Electric vehicles have better wading performance than fuel-powered vehicles. This is because their powertrain systems are more enclosed, lacking exhaust pipes, and the grilles are mostly sealed, thus avoiding water intrusion issues. 2. Never attempt to wade through water during short-term heavy rain or storms without knowing the road conditions. This is to prevent the risk of vehicle submersion due to excessively deep water. If you cannot determine the water depth, it is advisable to choose an alternative route. 3. After an electric vehicle has been submerged for an extended period and is rescued, avoid attempting to restart the powertrain system. First, have professional technicians conduct appropriate inspections on the high-voltage system components and battery pack. It is recommended to let the vehicle remain stationary for a period before sending it to a repair shop for further inspection and maintenance.
