And I was pointing out that "optimal" may not include "particularly
waterproof", if experience from existing vehicles is anything to go by.

Cars have to be good *enough*. In general that means you dont expect a
mini to wade a river, whereas with a Defender, you might.

Floods, not rivers.

All I am saying is that there is no reason not to make the batteries
waterproof.

It was the air vents that sounded most vulnerable.
