Knowledge丨Can electric cars pass the water?

On July 20 last year, there was a heavy rain in Beijing.

When the owner of the VIDEO Beijing BYD Tang car passed Fengtai Kefeng Bridge, the water accumulated under the bridge was very deep, about 60 cm.

The owner of the Tang car turned off the engine and waded in pure electric mode.

The deepest part of the standing water flooded the front hood.

An hour later, when I passed the Daxing Yangfang Bridge, I also saw a Porsche lying in the water.

The next day, the car owner rushed to 4S to check the condition of the car. After careful inspection by the technician, there was no water in the car.

There was water in the engine compartment, but there was no malfunction.

Summary: electriccar(And plug-in hybrid vehicles with pure electric mode) Because you can run without starting the engine, you don’t have to worry about the engine orexhaust pipeWater intake, in comparison, has better wading performance than fuel vehicles. Of course, this also depends on whether the structure of the car itself is reasonable and the craftsmanship is rigorous. Try not to wading unless you have to. After wading, please go to the 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible.
