What to Do If the Charger Gets Wet in the Rain?

Measures for a charger that has been rained on: If rainwater has not entered the internal components of the charger, it can still be used. However, if rainwater has penetrated the internal electronic components of the charger, it should not be used further. When using an electric vehicle, avoid charging outdoors, as this can easily lead to damage to the charger. Below is an introduction to related content about electric vehicles: 1. An electric vehicle is a simple-structured mode of transportation, with key components including the frame, motor, battery, and controller. 2. The controller's function is to regulate the entire vehicle's circuits. Without the controller, the electric vehicle cannot operate normally. The motor serves as the power source for the electric vehicle, driving it forward. The battery is a component used to store electrical energy, supplying power to all electronic devices in the vehicle.
That time my electric car charger accidentally got drenched in heavy rain, I panicked but immediately calmed down. First, I quickly unplugged all power cables to avoid electric leakage and shock hazards—safety comes first, after all. Then, I used a dry towel to wipe off the surface water droplets and placed it on the balcony to air-dry naturally, waiting a full two days before daring to test it again. If I had rushed to use it, it might have burned out the internal wiring, causing a short circuit—not only ruining the charger but also potentially damaging the car's charging port. Preventing this is simple: buy a rain cover for the charging port or make it a habit to store the equipment properly to avoid such small accidents affecting safe travel.
