Do bumps affect EV batteries?

I was out visiting a lake in BC yesterday. The road up had a lot of potholes and areas with washboard.. very bumpy. Some of the potholes were in shade from surrounding trees and impossible to see until I drove over them. Some with a huge smash on the car, like when shocks reach max and the whole car shudders from the impact.
I was wondering if an EV could even handle that kind of road.. or would it suddenly burst into flame or something?

unless things were right on the hairy edge of about to be a problem anyway, an ev in general should be able to take pretty much the same as any other vehicle. and a well designed one, possibly even more.
