Many people know an effective lifehack for repairing electronic devices that got into water. To do this, it is enough to lower it into rice, after which it will absorb almost all the moisture.
Blogger Rich Benoist decided to check whether this method is suitable for electric vehicles. To do this, he bought an Audi e-tron GT at auction for $56,000. The car was damaged in a hurricane and traces of salt water were found inside.
First, Rich delivered the Audi e-tron GT to the garage. After that, it took several hours to manually open the trunk.
The team inspected the electric car and learned that it had several faults, mostly electronics. The car could not go on its own.
Rich decided to make a huge frame that could hold about 1,905 kg of expired rice. The groats were used to dry the electric car.
The Audi e-tron GT is set in brass and covered with a tarp. The electric car remained in this state for several days. After a while, the teams lifted the linoleum and swept the remaining rice inside. They were surprised to see that this hack worked.
The electric car was able to move under its own power. However, numerous errors were displayed on the control panel.
Now Rich and his team will continue the restoration of the electric vehicle. They want to make it into a new car condition.
