I drive this car frequently, mostly for urban commuting. The charging port is indeed waterproof, designed with rainy conditions in mind. Its IP67 rating ensures protection against rain and minor splashes, so even during heavy downpours in daily life, water ingress isn't a concern, and charging proceeds normally. However, avoid intentionally submerging it for car washing or prolonged water exposure, as this may compromise the seal. Safety first—it's advisable to charge in dry locations, wipe the port dry after rain to prevent oxidation and extend lifespan. Additionally, avoid parking in low-lying waterlogged areas to minimize risks. Overall, the waterproof performance is reliable, but users should also maintain proper care.
