電氣動力總成損壞

電氣動力總成是指使車輛運動的電氣系統。包括電池、集電弓和牽引馬達。碰撞可能會造成電氣動力總成損壞，但更多是由於電流過大導致電氣系統過載。如果操作不當、忽略電流表、時速表讀數，最終可能導致車輛會變得無法運作並著火。

Damage to such a powertrain subsystem can occur from collisions , but it is much more severe when caused by overloading electrical systems with excessive current , premature reverser operation and traction motor overspeeding .

High electrical powertrain damage can be catastrophic, potentially fully immobilizing the vehicle and setting it on fire.
