Electric car leaked water during world-famous test

The mistake that must not happen happened to the electric car Ford Explorer during the world's largest range test in Norway. Water entered the electric car.

During the world's largest test of electric cars, which recently took place in Norway, an unexpected situation arose. A Ford Explorer leaked water from the roof under the crossbar.

The test, which takes place on the 140-kilometer stretch between Oslo and Gjövik, is known to be a challenge for even the most robust vehicles.

Experienced motoring journalist Öjvind Monn-Iversen, who was driving the car, noticed water leaking into the cabin when he was stopped in a traffic jam.

This is what Norwegian Motor writes.

"It drips onto the center console," Öjvind Monn Iversen told Norwegian Motor. "From there, the water runs into the space where you can charge your cell phone."

The leak originated from a leak between the windshield and the roof. Monn-Iversen also experienced problems with the car's sensors, which were not functioning optimally.

Ford subsequently explained the incident by saying that the car had had its windshield replaced shortly before the test after being damaged by a stone.

– It seems that things have gone a bit too far around the edges here, that's just to be regretted, said Ford's head of information Anne Sonsteby.

– Fortunately, we haven't experienced this on other cars, says the information manager.

The water in the electric Ford, which is actually a Volkswagen with different headlights, is a reminder that even new cars can have problems, and that even simple repairs can have consequences if not carried out correctly.

Ford is not the only one having problems with new electric cars. Although it was revealed in 2023 that the brand will lose up to 1 million kroner per electric car, the new EX90 could end up costing Chinese Volvo billions of kroner to fix. Read more about it here .
