I've passed these to a person I know who wrote off a BMW by speeding
through the ford. (that person now has a £60 battery car, and knows not
to submerge the works...)

£60 isn’t gonna buy you much of an EV. R/C model maybe. ;-)

If you mean £60,000, EVs generally cope much better with water than ICE
cars. The electrics are all very well protected.

Inhaling water is probably the main thing, a mate of mine wrote off a
Berlingo that way in the Gloucester floods. I suspect because of the bow
wave rather than the depth of water.

The air filters on some 4x4's can cope better than those on many cars in
that if they are flooded they stop the air flow and hence the motor
without collapsing and letting water through to the cylinders. IIRC my
Fourtrak had a downward facing "intake" which sounds wrong at first, but
I think that was so that if the inlet plenum did flood, it would also
drain completely once the vehicle was towed out.
