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?

Well? What happened? Did your EV make it?

You started the story off and then posed the question. Why don't you tell us the conclusion of your experience. You tell us dang it you were driving your EV, or are you sitting next to it beside a pothole waiting rescue and hoping a bear does not make you a snack? Come on dang it you have the answer.

I have never own nor will own an EV so I will never know.
@WillaKissing Guess I should have mentioned I have ICE car. Thinking about getting a EV though, hence the question.

@JamesBugman Okay now your story makes sense to me.

Thanks
