Will these new road chemicals effect electric vehicle batteries?

We have been using this stuff off and on for years up here in Alaska. It does leave a film that will not come off at the drive thru car washes, and will not come off with just the high press wand at the do it your self car wash. The only way I have been able to get it off , is to use the brush and the high press wand at the do it your self wash , or go to the car wash and get the worst off with the high press wand then wash it by hand using a good automotive car wash liquid. I use Armor all car wash liquid.

Sounds to me like a disaster in the making for the new electric vehicles.

I was wondering what this thread was all about until I saw it was resurrected from 2010!

That alone tells me that this is not nearly the problem that was originally posited.

It did, however, provide another opportunity to complain about electric cars!
