With the development of new energy vehicle technology, new energy vehicles have gradually been welcomed by many consumers. In particular, car owners in many big cities have not been able to shake their own license plate number for a long time because of the impact of the policy of restricting the number of the line, so a new energy vehicle with a green card is often their best choice.
Compared with fuel vehicles, the performance of new energy vehicles in energy conservation and emission reduction is obviously better, and even the gasoline-electric hybrid model is much better than that of traditional fuel vehicles in terms of environmental protection. Coupled with the characteristics of strong power, smooth operation and strong sense of science and technology of new energy vehicles, many young people are more inclined to buy new energy vehicles when buying cars.
Due to the vast territory of our country, the climate in some areas is relatively humid, and the rain is particularly abundant, which makes many car owners have certain doubts about new energy vehicles. After all, the battery packs of new energy vehicles are usually installed below, if they encounter a waterlogged section, or when they need to wade through water, can the battery pack of new energy vehicles withstand it?
For new energy vehicles, because there is no engine and gearbox inside the pure electric model, the soul of the whole car becomes the battery and the motor, and these batteries are installed under the chassis of the new energy vehicle. For some gasoline-electric hybrid models, because they do not rely entirely on electric power, the battery pack is usually installed in the front and rear overhangs. This also means that the two different types of new energy vehicles need to pay attention to completely different directions when passing through the wading section.
Pure electric models wading in the water
Since the pure electric model does not have an engine inside, there is no need for intake at all, and the performance when wading in water is much better than that of the model equipped with an engine. Moreover, manufacturers will also take into account the characteristics of frequent rain and snow and large precipitation in some areas when designing pure electric models, so they will be waterproof to the battery pack and circuit parts at the bottom of pure electric models.
Nevertheless, it does not mean that the use of pure electric models wading in the water can be unscrupulous, if the owner in the road area of the area of more water to pay attention to, must not be in the wading after the car chassis is bumped, because it is easy to destroy the bottom of the car waterproof layer, resulting in battery instability, but the subsequent driving process is prone to failure, serious traffic accidents.
In order to avoid this situation, the owner of the pure tram is best to go to the 4S shop for inspection immediately after the chassis collision to avoid the failure of the waterproof layer and battery pack.
The hybrid model waded through the water
For oil-electric hybrid models, because they are not completely out of the engine, the front of the car will still be equipped with air intakes. This also means that when the oil-electric hybrid model wads through the water, it must be noted that the water level cannot reach the position of the intake grille, otherwise it is inevitable that the engine will enter the water.
On the other hand, the oil-electric hybrid model is also equipped with a battery pack, but because the design of the battery pack is usually above the suspension and has been waterproofed, even if it is wet, it will not affect the normal driving of the car, and the only thing that needs to be noted is that it is the same as the pure electric model, and the chassis cannot be bumped after wading.
Editor's Note:
In recent years, the new energy vehicle market has gradually prospered, and more and more consumers are willing to accept new energy vehicles as their own cars. Although new energy vehicles still have problems such as the mileage affected by temperature and the shortage of public charging piles, it is not difficult to see that new energy vehicles have become the direction of future development in the automotive field. Many countries have announced the specific time to ban the sale of fuel vehicles, and the popularity of new energy vehicles has become the trend of the times.
