Winter testing should include a constant salt bath like the roads on New England. That salt brine will creep into most anything and must be considered especially with the high operating and charging voltages.
Yah good point. I wonder if any of the EV manufacturers do that. We just went through a nasty winter with ours but with Covid we have been doing less miles. Still I’ve been spraying it down at the hand wash on above freezing days. More sand than salt here though.
