As the rain has been coming down fairly regularly recently, I saw a Land Rover with its air intake pipe driving around. Which then got me thinking, what happens with my Mach-e and other EV's with regards to driving through deep puddles?
On the one hand the car should be able to go through deep water, if everything is water tight. However, on the flip side, water could cause the batteries to short out and you'll be stuck in an electrified puddle of water.
I appreciate the manufacturers will say about safety systems and such. But has anybody had any real world experience driving their Mach-e through water that is as deep as the bottom of the door and if so, what happened?
