Some advantages of electric cars that make them resistant to flooding include:
Rain Conditions Anticipated
Electric cars are designed with the best materials to ensure that they are safe if used to pass through floods. So you don’t need to worry that an electric car will experience a short circuit if it is used to pass through a flood during a flood.
Water Puddle Navigation
The design of electric cars employs high-quality materials, ensuring safety when passing through water puddles. There is no need to worry about short circuits during floods.
Charging Safety in Rain
Electric cars are actually safe to charge when it rains. So if you are in a forced situation, you can still charge an electric car even when it is raining. This is because the manufacturer has carefully considered it. One example is making the charger head and electrical socket waterproof so that charging when it rains will still be safe.
3. Battery Endurance Tests
The Wuling Air ev battery has undergone 41 battery endurance tests. The tests that have been conducted show that the Air ev battery has strong durability. Some of the test results that were conducted to test the durability of the Air ev battery are as follows:
Drop Test
This test was conducted by dropping the battery from a height of one meter, and the battery was still intact. This test is carried out to overcome emergency conditions.
Flip Test
The test was conducted with repeated rotation experiments in the X and Y directions; the battery structure was still intact and was able to effectively overcome hard impacts while driving.
Water Immersion Test
The battery was immersed in water 1 meter deep for more than 30 minutes in a closed state, and no water flow entered. This test was conducted to handle rainy conditions or flooded roads.
Crash Simulation
A simulation of a collision in different X and Y directions with a maximum acceleration of 28 g was carried out. The result is that the battery has no leaks or damage. The battery is still stable when the vehicle is involved in a collision.
Fire Test
The battery pack was baked for 130 seconds and was still in good condition without explosion or fire. The battery from the Wuling Air ev is safe when the vehicle encounters extreme heat.
Vibration Test
After three days, the battery vibrated with a force of up to 24 Hz, and the battery pack remained stable, safe, and free of problems. With a high level of stability, the battery can withstand vehicles that are not stable due to road conditions.
4. Convenient and Safe Charging
The Wuling Air EV is equipped with the Easy Charging feature, making it easy for car owners to charge at home. In the purchase of the Wuling Air EV unit, it will be equipped with two easy charging systems, namely the socket box and the charging pillar.
The Air eV Socket Box contains a socket or electrical outlet and an electrical safety device. The type of charging socket used is the AC GB/T type. This socket box is capable of transmitting 2200 W of electrical power. Meanwhile, Air ev Charging Pillar is already equipped with a charging gun so that it can be directly plugged into the electric car. This pillar is capable of transmitting electrical power up to 7700 W.
5. Long-lasting Battery Life
The durability of the battery of electric cars is made longer so that it can support daily activities without having to frequently charge at Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (SPKLU).
The age and durability of electric car batteries vary depending on the type, vehicle settings, and frequency of use. However, don’t worry, the warranty on the Wuling Air ev is available for the power battery, drive motor, motor controller, and core vehicle components, including the battery, for a fairly long period of 8 years or 120,000 km.
