Chery Ant can be charged on rainy days, but it is necessary to ensure that the charging port is not submerged in water. Chery Ant range: Chery New Energy Vehicle product Ant features an all-aluminum body structure, which results in an ultra-lightweight body that significantly extends the vehicle's range, achieving an NEDC range of 510km and a maximum range of up to 600km. Such an extended range can fully meet the needs of consumers. Moreover, it charges quickly, faster than most new energy vehicles. Chery Ant appearance: The vehicle's body dimensions are 4630mm in length, 1910mm in width, and 1655mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm.

I own a Chery Ant electric vehicle and often charge it in the rain. The charging plug and port have sealing rings, so charging in light rain is completely fine—I’ve never encountered any water ingress or short-circuit issues. However, during heavy rain, I prefer to charge in the garage or under a shelter to avoid potential leakage accidents caused by water accumulation. Safety first! The car is designed to be very reliable, and Chery has done a great job with waterproofing—the charging station is also splash-proof. But it’s best not to take risks in extreme weather. Before charging, always check if the plug is dry, and wipe the port promptly after rain. This way, you can enjoy the convenience of your car while minimizing risks. As a driver, it’s important to stay vigilant.

The charging system of the Chery Ant is rated IP65, offering strong waterproof and dustproof performance, making it difficult for rainwater to seep in. The charging plug features a rubber seal, allowing safe charging in light rain with secure current conduction. However, during heavy rain or storms, water may accumulate at the interface, increasing the risk of short circuits or electric shock, so it is advisable to avoid operation. Using a rain cover or charging in a garage can provide more reliable protection. The vehicle's circuitry has protective measures, but if the plug becomes aged or damaged, it can be hazardous, so regular checks on the seal integrity are essential. Overall, the design is reasonable, but human prevention is crucial, especially in humid weather to ensure safety.

From a safety perspective, the Chery Ant can be charged on rainy days, and light rain does not affect the process. However, precautions should be taken to prevent electric shock risks: ensure the plug is dry before charging, and seek an indoor charging spot during heavy rain. As a user, I prioritize charging under a carport to avoid getting wet. The vehicle has good waterproofing, but accidents can still happen, so prevention is key. After charging, clean the interface to prevent corrosion. Tip: Charging during light rain provides greater peace of mind.

In car repair experience, the Chery Ant charging in rainy days is safe and feasible. The charging port is well-sealed, light rain is not a problem, and water is difficult to seep in. However, common issues such as plug corrosion or cracks can increase the risk of short circuits if rainwater enters. It is recommended that owners charge only during light rain and seek garage locations during heavy wind and rain. Vehicle maintenance is crucial, regularly check the integrity of the sealing ring to ensure proper protection. The charging pile should have a high waterproof rating. Safe operation means no trouble.
