Can You Charge in Rainy Days?

You can charge in rainy days. Here is the relevant information: 1. Charging port standards: Manufacturers have strict standards for charging components and interfaces, which generally meet IPX6-IPX7 waterproof ratings. This means that under light rain conditions, there will be no damage to components or safety issues. 2. Parking position: When parking, try to choose a higher ground position. If you are in a low-lying position, prolonged water accumulation may cause the battery or charging port to be submerged in water. Check the charging gun before charging to ensure there is no accumulated water or debris inside, and make sure the charging gun and charging port can fully contact for normal charging.

I often charge my electric car in the rain without any issues. The charging equipment for modern electric vehicles has excellent waterproofing, with well-sealed designs for the socket and plug contact areas, making it difficult for rainwater to seep in and cause short circuits. For example, just yesterday I charged for half an hour in the rain—my car was parked under a canopy in the residential area, and the heavy rain didn’t affect it at all. Still, for safety, I always make a habit of checking that the plug and cable are dry and avoid letting water accumulate around the charging port. Additionally, choosing an indoor charging spot is even safer, especially avoiding direct operation during thunderstorms. Remember, the battery system operates normally in the rain without reducing lifespan or increasing risks. Once I got into this habit, charging in the rain became a convenient way to ensure smooth travel.

As someone who has been driving a new energy vehicle for almost three years, I've charged it multiple times in the rain without any incidents. The key is to find a sheltered spot, like a garage or under a canopy, and avoid operating directly in open waterlogged areas. Once, I charged during sleet, worried about circuit failures, but the process went smoothly. For extra peace of mind, I use a charging station with a waterproof cover and keep my hands dry when plugging and unplugging. Charging in the rain actually saves me the hassle of waiting for clear weather, allowing me to top up my range directly. Of course, if I see lightning or heavy downpours, I'll pause for a bit. I've shared this experience with friends, and they found it quite practical.

I think charging in the rain is safe, as the equipment has high waterproof performance. I will ensure the plug stays dry during operation and choose a covered location for charging. Additionally, I'll check the cable for any damage in advance to prevent electric leakage. Charging in the rain allows me to complete charging and travel as planned.
