That’s a great question. Electric cars can drive through shallow amounts of water just like any other car, and you’re not at any kind of higher risk of electrocution just because the car is electric.
That being said, flood damage can be uniquely hard to deal with for any car, so use extreme caution when driving through water.
If you live in an area that is prone to inclement weather such as flooding or hurricanes
, you want to be sure that water never gets into the inside of your car. Not so sure how your current car insurance
plan would hold up in a flood? Find out if you’re getting the best coverage for the best price with the Jerry
