What to Do When a Pure Electric Vehicle Encounters Water Accumulation?
1 Answers
When driving a pure electric vehicle through waterlogged roads, the water depth should not exceed 30cm (15cm for battery-swapping models). Maintain a speed below 10km/h and monitor the dashboard for any warning alerts. Drive cautiously to ensure safety. If the vehicle reports an insulation fault after wading, stop immediately for inspection. Below are key precautions: Water depth not exceeding half of the tire height: When navigating through waterlogged sections, always assess the water depth and flow. Proceed slowly and steadily. Before entering, observe the passage of preceding vehicles or pedestrians to determine if it is safe to cross. Avoid proceeding if the water level exceeds half of the tire height. Maintain safe following distance: Like traditional fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles should reduce speed and keep a safe distance in rainy or adverse weather conditions. If fog forms inside the car, activate the air recirculation system. In heavy rain, turning on fog lights enhances driving safety. Park on open, dry ground: During rainy weather, it is advisable to park new energy vehicles on elevated, dry surfaces. Ideally, use covered parking facilities. Avoid parking in low-lying areas, under power lines, or other hazardous locations. Additionally, when charging in wet conditions, ensure the charging environment is dry and enclosed. Never charge outdoors during rain to prevent electrical hazards.
