Electric cars can be charged while it’s raining, and there are safety measures in place to ensure this. First, let’s consider the charging station. There are two types: DC and AC, both designed according to standards and equipped with protection systems, including waterproofing and leak detection systems. Electric cars can operate normally in the rain because their electrical systems are insulated and have seals to prevent water from entering the charging ports effectively. Additionally, if there’s a power leakage, sensors will immediately cut off the electricity. During heavy rain, it’s advisable to wait for the rain to lighten to prevent water droplets from entering the charging port or socket. Here are some safety tips:
- Ensure enhanced safety measures.
- Check if the charging station, plugs, and cables are in good condition before use.
- Use an umbrella to shield the charging port during rain to prevent water from entering the car’s electrical system.
- Wipe dry the charging port area before closing the cover.
