Yes, but the plug must not be exposed to rain. Here is relevant information about electric vehicle charging: 1. Precautions: Water in the charger can easily burn out circuit boards and control components, and human proximity or contact may cause irreversible harm. Additionally, water ingress in the charger can lead to electronic component failures. If the charger remains in working condition, it can overcharge the battery, causing damage. 2. Charging Instructions: Charge according to the battery capacity, typically taking 8-10 hours to fully charge. Disconnect the power promptly after full charge. If the power remains on for too long, the electronic components inside the charger may overheat, potentially causing a short circuit and sparks, which could lead to a fire. Nighttime and early morning are the most prone times for fires, so it's best to charge during the day under supervision. Once the indicator light on the charger turns green, unplug it as soon as possible. The charging environment should be well-ventilated, with an optimal ambient temperature of 25°C. Avoid exposing the vehicle to direct sunlight or rain during storage.

How to Shift a BMW Towing Vehicle into Neutral?

When the vehicle is being towed by a rescue vehicle to gain momentum, the gear should be shifted into neutral. Only when in the N (Neutral) position will the transmission cut off all power transfer. Lift the drive wheels before towing; otherwise, the transmission may be damaged. The towing speed should not exceed 5 km/h, and the towing distance should not be too long. Both starting and stopping should follow the principle of "slow and steady." Starting too abruptly may cause secondary accidents, easily damaging the tow rope and the towed rear vehicle.
