What to Do When an Electric Vehicle Stops Moving After Passing Through Water?
1 Answers
If an electric vehicle suddenly stops moving after passing through water, do not start it immediately. Park in a safe area and let it dry for one to two hours to restore performance. Below is additional information: 1. Precautions: When driving through water, always assess the environment. For pure electric vehicles, the water depth should not exceed 30cm (15cm for battery-swapping vehicles), and the speed should be kept below 10km/h. Monitor the dashboard for any alarms and drive cautiously. If an insulation fault is reported, stop immediately for inspection. 2. Reference: Electric vehicles are not suitable for passing through water deeper than half the tire height. Additionally, if there are no vehicles or pedestrians as reference points, use the roadbed as a guide. If necessary, exit the vehicle and check the water depth using an umbrella or branch. 3. Immediate Shutdown: Regardless of the electric vehicle's performance, avoid driving through flooded areas whenever possible. Park the vehicle in an open, elevated area. If the vehicle stalls, do not start it immediately. Park in a safe area and let it dry for one to two hours to restore performance.
