Is it safe to charge electric vehicles outdoors in the rain?

New energy vehicle charging piles are safe for charging during rainy weather. Here is relevant information: Principle: Generally speaking, national standards stipulate that outdoor charging piles must meet IP54 protection level. The construction of outdoor charging piles must strictly comply with fire protection and lightning protection safety acceptance standards for charging piles. Moreover, charging piles must be designed with internal leakage protection switches. Therefore, new energy vehicle charging piles are safe for charging during rainy weather. Precautions: After inserting the charging gun and starting the charge, check the control screen on the charging pile to see whether charging has begun. If not, check if it is due to contact issues causing a stop. If it is a connection problem, simply plug and unplug the charging gun slightly again. New energy vehicle charging piles are safe for charging during rainy weather. The interface design meets IPx6-IPx7 (IPX is an internationally recognized waterproof rating certification system. It is commonly used to indicate the waterproof level of products in outdoor, underwater, and many other equipment applications, making it the most common technical indicator.) waterproof rating. This means that splashes or even heavy rain will not damage the components. Only when a large amount of water enters the charging interface, preventing the charging gun and charging port from making full contact and thus failing to charge, or when the charging pile causes a power trip, will there be issues. However, these situations do not pose any harm to personnel.
