Chevrolet Volt Goes for a Swim

GM?s torture testing of the much awaited VOLT continues. It?s the question many people ask about an electric vehicle: What happens if the battery gets wet? Chevrolet Volt battery engineers answered that recently by putting the Volt through a bath at the Milford Proving Ground. ?The reason we?ve done all this testing is to verify and ensure the customer is protected from any potential water intrusion into the battery which could affect the electronics,? said Rob Drexler, a Volt battery development engineer.
