I've purchased my leaf about a month and a half ago, and I'm wondering what has Nissan done to protect the battery back from flood water.
What should I do to protect my Leaf?
What experience have others had?
Thanks

Since my post asking about the battery pack protection from water, I've viewed a video of someone driving through a section of a water covered road, and the driver showing water poring out of a vent under the car on the driver side. If water gets into the pack what would keep the 360 volts from conducting in the water? What corrosion is there inside the pack? That also brings up the question about road film are there filters to keep that out? Maybe someone that has done the yearly inspection could enlighten us.
Thanks
