Can an electric car be charged outdoors when it rains?

You can charge the electric car outdoors in rainy days. Nowadays, many electric vehicles have waterproof design, especially many charging ports are not directly exposed to rain, and the charging piles are also waterproof design, which can basically be charged with confidence.

If you can charge an electric car outdoors in rainy days, you should pay attention to the following points when using outdoor charging equipment:

1, park in a higher place to avoid the vehicle battery from being soaked in water;

2. When using the charging pile, clean up the accumulated water in the charging port before charging to prevent the accumulated water from entering the charging port. Avoid water flowing into the socket when inserting the charging handle;

3. Check whether the charging gun has been soaked in rain and whether there are stains in the gun. Check and remove water and stains from the charging gun. Wipe the gun head clean before use. When pulling out the gun from the charging pile, pay attention to prevent rainwater from splashing into the gun head, and ensure that the gun points down when moving the gun;

4. When opening the cover of the car charging socket, be sure not to get wet, so as to avoid rain splashing on the socket.

Weather conditions:

1. Ordinary rainy days (moderate rain, light rain and moderate rain in Mao Mao), you can safely charge. The charging port of new energy vehicle itself has certain waterproof ability. Just be careful not to be too willful when plugging and unplugging the charging gun, and try to block it to prevent rainwater from directly entering the charging port, causing short circuit and other adverse consequences.

Second, when it rains heavily (the kind that gets wet instantly), if you can't charge the electricity, you won't charge it. If the charging cable is long and the rain area is large, it is difficult to ensure that it is not damaged. If the damaged place is soaked in rain, it is easy to cause short circuit or even fire.
