Will an Electric Car Stall When Wading Through Water?

[PaigeLynn]

It can stall. Generally, deep water wading primarily tests the sealing of car doors and the passenger compartment. Additionally, electric vehicles have specified wading depths, and exceeding them is not recommended. Below are the reasons: Poor Sealing Solutions: The sealing of the power output shaft. If the water level exceeds the power output shaft, water can quickly enter the transmission and then the motor. Short Circuit: Power sources, cables, and inverters. If the water level is too high, these components are prone to short circuits because water can enter through any gaps. Poor Contact: The electrical control system and sensor lights in cars typically use traditional connectors. After being submerged in water, they may experience poor contact and short circuit issues.
