2024 Chevrolet Traverse; Are Flooded EVs a Fire Hazard?

Informações:

Synopsis

We recently purchased a 2024 Chevrolet Traverse LT AWD for testing. In this episode, we share our first impressions of the four-cylinder turbo engine, infotainment usability, and whether the Traverse works as a family hauler compared to the Kia Telluride, Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, and Hyundai Palisade. And, with recent hurricanes hitting the U.S., we discuss whether a flooded electric vehicle is more prone to becoming a fire hazard and if there are specific steps an owner should take to break in a hybrid car, truck, or SUV.   More info on the 2024 Chevrolet Traverse here: https://www.consumerreports.org/search/?query=Chevrolet%20traverse   Ratings and test results on every car CR purchases and tests: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT     SHOW NOTES ----------------------------------- 00:00 - Introduction 00:16 - Overview: 2024 Chevrolet Traverse 02:24 - The Engine 08:48 - How It Drives 12:33 - 2nd & 3rd Row Seats 19:02 - The Drive Seat 23:03 - The Controls 28:51 - Standard Saf
