Why do electric cars float so well?

Why do electric cars float so well?
ADVERTISEMENT

In recent months, videos of Tesla crossing torrents of water have been more and more numerous. But how to explain this resistance to water?

Would it be impossible to stop a Tesla? Our colleagues from Challenges looked into the question and no, the finding is not so simple. But the point is, water doesn’t seem like a huge drag on electric vehicles. And yet, in the collective unconscious, putting an electric object in water is synonymous with immediate electrocution.

However, it is a little more complex than that. Indeed, this risk does exist but remains almost zero. Experience has proven over the years that no case of electrocution has been reported.

No, what really impresses is the Tesla’s ability to float and move in water. Most of the time, these videos are offered to us following the unconsciousness of some motorists. So much so that Elon Musk himself was responsible for warning them.

We *def* don’t recommended this, but Model S floats well enough to turn it into a boat for short periods of time. Thrust via wheel rotation.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 19, 2016

“We definitely don’t recommend this but yes, the S models are able to float good enough to be used as a boat for a moment. The thrust is done through the movement of the wheels. “

It works !

The insulation of the batteries is such that water cannot enter. The latter are therefore perfectly protected and do not risk being submerged.

As for electric motors, these, unlike heat engines, do not need oxygen. Traveling underwater therefore does not scare them. So that’s how we can end up with these kinds of images.

Of course, it is still not recommended to drive for a long time in this kind of situation because over the minutes, the water will still attack the electronics of the car.
