What happens if an EV remains submerged in water due to flooding? Will it pose any risk to passer by? Any IP rating has a depth and duration mentioned as it's limit. What happens if the car goes beyond the limit? | ||

Driving an EV through water one will not have to worry about water entering the air intake and ultimately the engine, but things like wiring harnesses and electronic circuit boards can become corroded if exposed directly to water. Even if they don't fail immediately, their lifespans may be dramatically shortened. Lithium in batteries also react adversely to water but direct exposure is unlikely. High-voltage components such as the batteries, motors, inverters are well sealed and waterproof. They are designed to perform beyond their rated thresholds, but it's never advisable. | |

It is only my guess and I may be wrong here. I am in no way claiming that Nexon EV will catch fire after a crash. | |

IP67 rating means it can withstand immersion in water upto 1metre (flooding can be more than that) and 30 minutes (flooding can be prolonged). Last edited by ashis89 : 18th May 2022 at 19:58. | |

| ![]() Was anyone able to get a test drive of Nexon EV Max? I see that the rear seating comfort has change due to elevated floor pan, especially the under thigh support. I was hugely in favour of Nexon EV over MG ZS EV as the rear seat comfort was lot superior (apart from being lot more affordable). Knowing that rear seat comfort has been compromised has put me in two minds on the EV Max. Can anyone please shed some light on this issue? My usage will mostly be in city and once a month on highways for rides up to 200 KM each way. I don’t mind the extra 1.5L-2L I have to spend on the EV Max as I would get a larger battery and selective regen which are the factors that matter more to me. But a compromise on rear seat comfort is pinching me. Thanks in advance. |

I would want to do a real-life comparison of the back seat comfort and ride quality between ZS EV (at a sane 33psi) and Max before taking a decision. Neither ZS EV nor Max is seeming to be a good package for a family car; picking either would be a compromise especially for the rear seat occupants. I'm willing to stretch budget-wise, but there don't seem to be any other alternatives on the horizon. The only option seems to be to wait for a couple of years atleast for the next crop of EVs to come up. | |

For what it’s worth, the overall back seat experience of the Nexon will be better than the ZS. Even if both car’s have raised rear floors, Nexon’s is better. It also has wider cabin, more legroom and much more shoulder space. The overall ride and handling package is also very sorted. If anything, someone my find it’s back a bit too reclined. As long as you are fine with the recline angle, the Nexon EV Max is the objectively better car to be chauffeured in. | |

| ![]() Any interior images of the Nexon EV Max XZ+ variant? Brochure says Fabric seats and door pads, will they be the same as the regular Nexon EV XZ+? And any information on production and delivery dates? |

| ![]() Autocar has tested the real world efficiency of Max and the results are not that encouraging ![]() https://www.autocarindia.com/car-new...plained-424488 |
