Are Motors Afraid of Rain?

It is not recommended to park electric vehicles outdoors or charge them in rainy weather, as safety cannot be guaranteed. The following are the relevant reasons: 1. Reason one: The circuit in the hood area is something to pay attention to during daily use of electric vehicles. Generally, pure electric vehicles undergo waterproofing treatment, especially for the circuits inside the engine compartment cover. Simple rain exposure does not have a significant impact on the wiring, but it can affect the car's paint surface. When driving in the rain, try to prevent water from entering the interior of the car and avoid leaving it in the rain for too long. After exposure to rain, it is necessary to dry it promptly. 2. Reason two: When storing a pure electric vehicle in rainy weather, the vehicle's controller should be covered to prevent water ingress. Rainwater also has a certain impact on the car's paint surface. If conditions permit, it is advisable to park in an underground garage or cover the car with a car cover. If the electric vehicle has been exposed to water, the battery and connectors should be wiped clean to avoid short circuits during charging. 3. Reason three: When charging an electric vehicle in the rain, try to find a sheltered place. You can also use a rain cover for the electric vehicle charger. When in use, place the charger on a tray and use a bracket to support a waterproof cloth covering the charger, effectively preventing rain or water from splashing on the charger.
