after hearing what happened with Fisker during the last Hurricane that hit New Jersey, i have started to wonder about the safety of EVs in a flood.

I live in a flood prone area. are there ways i can protect myself and my EV when going out?

I recently read an article which suggested that the emergency services, fire engines, ambulances, etc were growing a little concerned about safety around accidents involving electric vehicles. I think this is an issue which needs to be discussed in more depth.
