Why electric cars may handle flooded roads better than petrol and diesel vehicles

Electric vehicles offer greater resilience in urban flooding situations. Their sealed motors and battery packs prevent catastrophic engine damage common in petrol cars. Modern EVs meet stringent waterproofing standards, minimizing electrical risks during waterlogged commutes.

While deep submersion poses risks for all vehicles, EVs are engineered to withstand typical flood conditions. This engineering advantage makes them a more intelligent choice for India's changing weather patterns.
