What is the wading depth of the Roewe ei5?

[GabrielleMarie]

The Roewe ei5 has a minimum ground clearance of 175cm and a wading depth of approximately 70cm. The minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the vehicle (excluding the wheels) and the supporting surface when the vehicle is fully loaded and stationary. It is used to characterize the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. Relevant information about the minimum ground clearance is as follows: 1. Design: The design of the minimum ground clearance must consider the passability of loading and unloading platforms during transportation and the possibility of avoiding scraping when the car is close to the edge of a typical sidewalk. If the vehicle is intended for sale in a specific country or region, the local road quality must also be considered. 2. Related introduction: Generally, the minimum ground clearance for sedans ranges between 110mm and 150mm. For sedans, a larger ground clearance (over 130mm) provides relatively better passability but poorer high-speed stability, while a smaller ground clearance (below 110mm) offers better high-speed stability but poorer passability.

I often study the characteristics of electric vehicles. As a pure electric station wagon, the Roewe ei5 is safest when wading through water depths of approximately 300 to 400 millimeters. The vehicle's chassis is designed relatively low, with the air intake positioned quite downward. Although the electric motor's sealing is excellent and not prone to water intake through the exhaust pipe, excessive water depth can easily lead to circuit short circuits or battery water ingress issues. When wading, it's best to slow down and proceed cautiously to avoid splashing water into sensitive components. Risks increase sharply when the depth exceeds 35 centimeters, so it's advisable to avoid deep water areas after rain to prevent a surge in repair costs. While electric vehicles generally have stronger waterproofing capabilities than fuel-powered cars, it's wise to limit wading depth to half the tire height for urban driving.

I use the Roewe ei5 to take my kids to school, paying special attention to driving safety. I haven't checked the official data on wading depth, but it can handle up to 300mm under normal conditions—any deeper is risky. Be extra cautious if the water level exceeds the centerline of the wheels. Electric vehicles have complex circuitry, and water damage to the controller can lead to costly and troublesome repairs. It's common sense to check road water depth before driving in the rain—avoid deep water by detouring or waiting for it to recede, and never risk driving through. During maintenance, the technician mentioned that electric sedans have poorer wading capability than SUVs. Although the Roewe ei5 has good sealing, it's safer to dry and inspect it promptly after crossing water.

I've been driving the Roewe ei5 for two years and encountered several puddles during my commute. Personally, I feel that a wading depth of 250 to 350 mm is the limit. If the water depth exceeds 300 mm, the car will sway, and you need to slowly glide through. The Roewe ei5 doesn't have high ground clearance. The advantage of an electric vehicle is that the engine compartment is well sealed, so there's no need to worry about water flowing back in. However, the battery is located under the car, and deep water can easily cause a short circuit. When driving in the rain, it's safest to observe that the water level doesn't exceed one-third of the tire height, and avoid sudden acceleration that could cause water to rush in.
