Electric vehicles at risk during floods: insights and precautions

Electric vehicles at risk during floods: insights and precautions

As Hurricane Milton approaches, Florida authorities are advising residents to move their electric vehicles (EVs) away from areas that could be affected by flooding and storm surges. This precautionary measure is critical to avoid the risk of electric vehicles catching fire due to prolonged immersion in salt water, a scenario that, while rare, poses a significant threat.
