Why can't an electric car move after being submerged in water?
1 Answers
If an electric car cannot move after being submerged in water, it can generally be determined that the motor has been flooded. Here is some additional information: 1. After water exposure: After driving through water, promptly clean the vehicle body and chassis, and ensure proper ventilation and drying. Also, check the engine compartment for water ingress. If flooding is detected, address it immediately to prevent further damage. Pay special attention to inspecting the power battery, motor, and wiring harnesses—any issues must be dealt with right away. 2. Precautions: If the water reaches a certain depth, do not attempt to start the car. In such cases, the vehicle should be classified as a flood-damaged accident vehicle. Professionals should be called to the scene to measure the temperature of the battery and high-voltage components to prevent internal short circuits, fires, or other serious accidents that could result in significant losses.
