BYD Executive on EV Wading Safety: IP68 Rating Theoretically Outperforms ICE Vehicles

A BYD executive recently responded publicly to questions about EV wading safety, stating that EVs are theoretically superior to gasoline vehicles in water, provided the battery pack seal grade meets requirements. Currently, all BYD models achieve IP68 battery pack sealing standards and have undergone rigorous wading tests. IP68 is among the highest dust and water protection ratings for electronic equipment, meaning the battery pack can withstand underwater immersion under specified conditions. This statement provides technical confidence for consumers in rainy seasons and low-lying regions.
