Can an electric vehicle drive underwater?

842 viewsOtherTechnology



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.

Well yes. But why bother designing a vehicle to be able to do this? An ICE can also do this as long as the exhaust and oxygen intake is deliberately raised. But why make a more exprnsive car in order to achieve a pointless feat.
