A gas powered engine, obviously floods when drove in a flooded street or water. But is an electric car or even a bike be able to safely drive without malfunctioning or breaking down?
I can’t find any posts related to this, mainly I know that it is unsafe and mostly stupid to drive any thing in a flooded street as you can’t judge what’s in there. “The danger is not your car stopping, its what the water is hiding.” But hypothetically speaking, if it was a live or die situation, can you drive an ev with water high up the car.
I assume so but I might be wrong as I feel there is nothing which can break, and all the wires and connections must be waterproof.
edit: got it, thanks everyone for the replies.

No not really. It is the theoretically possible to make an EV that works under water and it would logistically be much easier than an ICE car since it requires no oxygen or exhaust system. However, there is no EV on the market that would be able to do this. The level of insulation and protection you would need over the batteries and all the electrical component would dramatically increase the price of the car.
