What is the wading depth standard for electric vehicles?
1 Answers
Electric vehicles have a wading depth standard that should not exceed 30 centimeters. Below are specific details about vehicle wading standards: 1. Vehicle Type: Different vehicle types have varying wading depth standards. Sedans have a wading depth of 20-30 centimeters, SUVs 30-60 centimeters, and hardcore off-road vehicles can reach 70-100 centimeters. 2. Issues After Wading: Deformation and damage to the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism. When a mixture of water and air enters the engine through the intake, since gases are compressible but liquids are not, the connecting rod may deform under the influence of water. If the driver attempts to start the vehicle at this point, the immense reactive force can cause the bent connecting rod to rub against the cylinder block, resulting in irreversible damage to the cylinder block.
