I saw an article in ABC about it, it seems pretty rare. The stats they shared were -
Prior to Hurricane Milton, there had been a total of 34 reports worldwide of EV battery fires following salt-water submersion — and of those, four were unverified, Ms Sutcliffe said.
Twenty-eight occurred due to hurricanes, one during a very violent storm, and five when EVs were accidentally submerged at boat ramps.
Whether a submerged EV catches fire depends on its battery chemistry, battery size, how much charge it held at the time, and whether the car was damaged. |
