Can You Stay in a Tesla While It's Charging?
1 Answers
Theoretically, you can, but for safety reasons, it is not recommended to stay inside the vehicle during high-voltage charging. When charging, the car is connected to a high-voltage interface, and the vehicle's state differs from normal operation. Accidents are unpredictable, and the high voltage used during charging makes it unsafe for occupants. Although the probability is extremely low, vehicles have a certain leakage rate, so it's best to avoid sitting inside while charging for safety. Below is more relevant information: Electric Vehicle Radiation: The radiation from electric vehicles is electromagnetic radiation, similar to that from everyday devices like computers and mobile phones, and falls within safe limits. Actual measurements show that the radiation level in electric vehicles is around 20μT, comparable to that of a hair dryer. Mobile phones emit about 1μT, while pure electric vehicles may even be lower, around 10μT. This measurement was taken at the charging port, where radiation is highest. Inside the car, the reading drops to 0, meaning occupants are completely unaffected by electromagnetic radiation. The health standard for electromagnetic radiation is 100μT, so charging an electric vehicle poses no health risks to people.
