What happens if you drive an EV through a flood?

There is a good choice of electric cars but what happens when you drive through a ford or water?

I wouldn't drive through any deeper ford or water than you would a petrol or diesel car, but you needn't worry about the batteries. They're well protected and water can't get into the cells. No fish will be harmed.

I'm 64 do I realistically have to worry about electric cars? I don't have anywhere to charge one and I'm quite happy with a small petrol car.
My wife and I wanted to replace a three year old EV. We went to a dealer and bought a brand new EV which was essentially the same as the old one. The new car was the next generation of the same car advertised...
When we are all forced to go electric for new cars the batteries will not last forever, so what has been decided what happens with all the old car batteries?
