Actually, *pure* water is not conductive at all... which is why early DC-based EV conversions (which often used fork-lift truck motors with exposed brushes) would run immersed in *fresh water* (eg fording a stream, etc) for a short while without serious issue - the same cannot be said for salt-water! Anyway, I could still expect some sort of evidence left behind from where a ~150A plasma arc occured... Hence my thoughts that it happened outside the OBC...Water is conductive and just evaporates??
