Can outdoor charging piles be used in rainy weather?
1 Answers
It is best not to use outdoor charging piles in rainy weather. Relevant information about charging piles is as follows: 1. Waterproof capability: During the construction of charging piles, waterproof materials are applied to the bottom of the charging facilities. This ensures that the lower 20-30 cm of the charging pile body has the ability to resist water immersion. National standards for the waterproof performance of charging piles are very strict. Insulation tests are conducted on both the vehicle side and the pile side before charging starts. If the insulation test fails (due to rain or debris), charging cannot be initiated. 2. Charging pile monitoring: Most charging piles are made of SMC fiberglass material, ensuring long-term outdoor use and resistance to complex weather conditions. Moreover, modern charging piles are internet-connected, allowing the operational status of each charging pile to be monitored in real-time through a backend system. If any issues or malfunctions occur, notifications can be received immediately in the backend, ensuring charging safety.
