Will New Energy Vehicles Get Damaged When Wading Through Water?
2 Answers
New energy vehicles will not get damaged when wading through water, as their batteries are equipped with rigorous waterproofing devices. Additional information: Advantages of new energy vehicles: 1. Fuel conservation: They typically use natural gas, petroleum gas, hydrogen, or electricity as power sources. 2. Reduced exhaust emissions, effectively protecting the environment: Electric vehicles do not produce exhaust and are pollution-free. Hydrogen-powered vehicles emit only water, causing no environmental pollution. They are essentially zero-emission and exempt from traffic restrictions based on license plate numbers. 3. High efficiency: New energy vehicles generally adopt new technologies and structures, resulting in higher efficiency. 4. Low noise.
I once consulted the manufacturer when driving a new energy vehicle through deep water, and actually, electric vehicles are less afraid of water than fuel-powered cars. The battery pack is completely sealed, and national regulations require it to meet IP67 waterproof standards, meaning it won't leak even when submerged in water for half an hour. The motor and controller also have special sealing treatments. However, you should be careful not to let water enter the front air intake and maintain a steady speed when wading through water—don't go too fast. I've seen cases where electric vehicles were damaged by water, but those were all due to aging seals or accidents causing shell damage, which allowed water to enter. So, it's best to check the battery guard plate under the car before driving an older vehicle through deep water.
