Had to go out yesterday morning but on our return trip many of the

It did occur to me how would electric cars cope particularly with the
tendency to mount batteries under the floor. It is one thing to
protect connections from the normal spray generated in wet conditions
and quite another when things get a good dunking. Anyone with any
experience of driving an electric car in these conditions?

And the author has zero experience of anything to do with driving cars
through water.
