The warning comes as first responders assess the risks of damaged high-voltage batteries, which can degrade or short-circuit even after being dried out. Experts emphasize that improper handling or charging of these vehicles could lead to dangerous situations, requiring specialized equipment and precautions. Authorities are advising owners and recovery crews to exercise extreme caution when dealing with flood-affected EVs.
