New energy vehicles are not afraid of water, can they drive in heavy rain? In fact, new energy vehicles are not as waterproof as you think, and they can't sail when it rains. Once the vehicle is soaked in water, it is a painful choice to scrap it or spend a lot of money on maintenance! Be careful when driving in heavy rain, and be careful of the following four wading risks:
1, car short circuit
Water flooded into the car, causing the battery and motor to short circuit and causing the car to collapse. Finally, we have to choose to scrap the car or spend a lot of money to repair it.
2. Internal damage
After the indoor decoration enters the water, it is easy to cause the indoor parts to rot and damage due to immersion in the water, resulting in odor.
3, the body rust
Although there is no fault code after the vehicle wades in water, the water seeping into the vehicle fails to volatilize in time, and the metal parts of the vehicle are easy to rust after a long time, which directly affects the normal service life of new energy vehicles.
4. Parts are damaged
New energy owners spend a lot of money on various "black technologies" such as radars, cameras and sensors. When driving in water, these car parts are likely to break down or be damaged due to the impact of water flow, which is also a great loss.
As a tram and a new energy vehicle, will it leak electricity when wading?
The high-voltage lines of new energy vehicles are produced according to the highest insulation, so as long as they are not damaged, there will be no leakage. If the vehicle drives into the deep water area and is immersed in water for a long time, the insulation layer will be damaged and it is likely to leak electricity! And new energy vehicles are basically equipped with a series of leakage protection measures. As long as the problem is detected, the power supply will be automatically cut off at the first time.
Conclusion: In theory, we don't need to worry about electric leakage, but some damage in use may make the vehicle have hidden dangers of electric leakage. It is recommended that all car owners maintain it regularly before they can drive safely on the road.
Driving in rainy days is risky. Can you stop and charge?
In fact, the charging port of the new energy vehicle is insulated and has drainage design. After the charging gun is plugged in, the charging port is in a sealed state, which can realize the waterproof function. Generally, in rainy days, outdoor charging can be carried out as long as the interior of the charging gun and the interior of the charging port are dry. But don't do this on a rainstorm day to prevent the charging port from getting wet by the rainstorm, and be careful that the vehicle is damaged by lightning in the wild. If you find that the charging pile of the charging station is flooded by heavy rain or the wires are damaged, you can call the 24-hour power supply service hotline (95598). Do not handle or approach it without authorization to avoid the danger of electric shock. (Important reminder: Try not to use outdoor charging piles in rainy days)
Conclusion: Don't charge outdoors in heavy rain, and be free when it is sunny.
Can I go out by tram on rainy days?
1. insurance confirmation: motor vehicle insurance (compulsory insurance, car damage insurance, three risks) should be covered with vehicle loss insurance during the insurance period.
2. Tire tread tire pressure inspection: When driving in rainy days, the tire pressure should be slightly higher than that in normal weather, so as to ensure that the tire and the road surface have enough pressure to drain water when they meet water, so that the vehicle can run smoothly. In addition, the deeper the tread pattern, the better the drainage performance of the tire, which is helpful to improve the handling stability of the car.
3. Wiper performance test: When driving in rainy days, you can directly determine the line of sight to prevent the safety hazards caused by unclear line of sight.
4. Inspection of water leakage point: For buses with skylights, the dust in the gap between the sliding rail of the skylight and the sealing strip should be cleaned regularly to prevent the skylight from leaking due to irregular sealing of the skylight and wear of the sliding rail.
5. Chassis detection: The core components of the new energy vehicle battery pack are located at the chassis, and the battery shell is easily damaged due to collision and other reasons during driving, but it is difficult to detect. During wading, rainwater enters the battery pack, causing damage to the core components.
Vehicle wading 3 tips
Pay attention to the wading depth: Like traditional fuel vehicles, don't venture forward when the wading depth is less than half of the hub of the vehicle.
Pay attention to the speed of wading: when wading, you should move slowly and steadily, and it is best to pass at one time. After leaving, clean, ventilate and dry the car body and chassis, and check whether there is water in the front compartment of the vehicle, especially the battery, motor and wiring harness. If there is any problem, it should be repaired in time.
Pay attention to personal safety: once the vehicle is found unable to drive in deep water, it should be powered off and turned off in time. If the vehicle has been automatically powered off, do not power it on for the second time to avoid short circuit. If the water level has reached the upper edge of the wheel and continues to rise, do not force through the wading area again. It is important to save your life, decisively abandon the car and run for help.
