lol...8. Thing is basically like funneling gas in. What's the gas tank size on that? Even a 20 gallon tank would only get you 160 miles lol.My '66 gets about 8 mpg but is still on the road after 60 years.
If your EV is underwater I'd say you have bigger problems than it catching on fire....bonus, you probably get a new one anyway!
I can't say I've ever done it in a sedan. I did it one time in a 60's range rover that looked kind of like this:

But weirdly, there's a ton of videos out there of Teslas driving through flood waters with a bunch of ICE vehicles stalled out around them.

16 gallon capacity. And no one is driving it that much, do you know anything about classic cars?
No man. I’m 37. I know like 2 things about classic cars.
I'm 42, age has nothin to do with it sir.
Let’s say…my childhood was spent learning about computers and not cars. Most of my car knowledge comes from researching something when they break.

Are they all sealed motors and connections? There are a lot more little seals to break in an electric engine than in IC one. Hell $5 worth of flex tubing can put a snorkel on your car to go through water above the hood.
Car batteries in the last couple of decades are completely sealed and spill proof unless you melt them open, they are maintenance free. The old school ones certainly were a leak hazard. But I trust a torqued down rubber or cork gasket a lot more than a tiny o-ring that is supposed to keep water out of a connector. Gas engines are just air pumps so they only operate when they are complete sealed from any air leaks. Electric motors are the opposite in that most rely on the air to keep them cooled. There are of course sealed motors, but not sure if that is what drives EV's or not. I would expect them to have shielding to prevent water splashes from getting in but not completely air tight. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd trust a gasoline engine going through water a lot more than an electric. A little water gets in your engine and it blows right through. A little water gets in an electrical component and you have to bust out the rice.
