What to Pay Attention to When Using Electric Vehicles in the Rainy Season?
1 Answers
Electric vehicles are structurally composed of three electric systems, among others, and their power is driven by electricity. The following are precautions for using electric vehicles during the rainy season. 1. Driving in the rainy season inevitably involves wading through water. Pay attention to the vehicle's wading depth and road conditions. Unlike traditional fuel vehicles, the chassis of an electric vehicle is mostly composed of battery packs and circuits. Prolonged contact with water can cause the battery protection system to automatically cut off power. 2. When driving an electric vehicle in the rainy season, be mindful of the wading position of the vehicle's chassis and make a pre-judgment of water depth. Normally, an electric vehicle can drive safely in water up to half the vehicle's height. If the water depth exceeds half a meter, it is advisable to detour. Although electric vehicles have a high waterproof rating, there is still some impact on the electrical components inside the vehicle. 3. When wading through water in the rainy season, maintain a steady speed and pass through the waterlogged section as quickly as possible. If the vehicle stalls, do not attempt to restart it randomly. Instead, turn off the power and notify professional maintenance and rescue personnel. 4. Visibility is poor when driving in the rain. Observe the movements of cars and pedestrians on the road and maintain a sufficient safety distance to prevent traffic accidents. Use fog lights when necessary.
