Recently, the rainy season has arrived, and the rainstorm mode has been turned on. Friends who drive new energy vehicles are worried: “Is it safe to charge on rainy days? What if there is a leakage?” Don’t panic! Today, I will teach you the correct posture for charging on rainy days. After reading this article, you will no longer be afraid of charging in the “rain battle”!
The car pile comes with a “waterproof armor”, but it is better to be safe than sorry!
Let me give you a reassurance first – both new energy vehicles and charging piles have super waterproof designs! The charging interface has its own sealing protection, and rainwater cannot get in after being plugged in tightly; the charging pile has a waterproof level of at least IP54, and it is not afraid of splashing water or getting wet in the rain. But this does not mean that you can take it lightly, and the following details are the key!
5 life-saving charging guides, quickly code!
1. Choose a mine protection area, and water accumulation is a taboo!
Be a “scout” before charging: avoid low-lying and flooded sections, and don’t let the charging pile “soak”! If you see that the water has submerged the base of the charging pile, even if there is only 1 cm left, don’t take risks!
2. The charging gun “lowers its head” to be waterproof!
When plugging and unplugging the charging gun, let the gun head tilt slightly downward, and the rain will slide off automatically! If conditions permit, use an umbrella or plastic bag to temporarily “cover” the gun head, and the protection is directly maximized~
3. When there is thunder and lightning, hiding indoors is the best way!
Don’t be a “lone hero” in thunderstorms! Lightning may penetrate the equipment, causing fire or short circuit. Hurry up and find an underground parking lot, and wait for the rain to stop before charging. Safety always comes first!
4. “Three finishing sets” after charging, detail control must do!
✅ Confirm that the charging gun is in place to avoid damage from rain
✅ Check whether the charging port is dry. If there is water stain, wipe it off in time
✅ Close the charging cover to ensure a tight seal
5. Daily “physical examination” to detect hidden dangers early!
Regularly check whether the charging cable is damaged and whether the charging pile is loose. If the gun head is found to be black or the contact is poor, report it immediately, and don’t let small problems lead to big accidents!
