If the quality of the insulation is good and the motor is not vented and
the bearings are well sealed the electric car's electrical components can
survive immersion however, an ICE car's axles and transmission are usually
damaged by driving thru water only a foot deep, and the EV has the same
prob
I just saw a picture online of what I thought was a Nissan Leaf driving
through a flood. It made me think that electric cars could be (or are
now) much more water resistant than ICE cars. Especially cars with AC or
brushless motors. Is that possible?
