    You’re not going to have frozen salt water on the underside of a car. That’s kind of what the salt is for. You will get salt water eating at the metal.

      Ever seen a 30 year old car from where it snows a lot? They have rust holes that eat clean through the floor. We don’t have EVs that old yet but I seriously wonder how big of a problem that might be, as the salt will eat through the battery tray at a certain point. Especially for some of the budget EVs like the Bolt.
