How to Charge Your EV Safely in the Rainy Season
Although chargers are water-resistant to a certain degree, correct installation and use are essential for the maximum safety of users and electric vehicles, especially during the rainy season, when there is a higher risk of moisture and short circuits.
Tips for charging your EV safely in the rainy season:
- Use a charger with a water-protection rating of IP65 or higher
- Install an anti-shock breaker (RCD or RCCB) to protect against leakage current
- Avoid installing in places where water pools or splashes
- Check that the charging connector is completely dry and the cable has no cracks or leaks
- Plug the charging cable in firmly every time before you start
Choose an EV charger that meets standards and is installed correctly, for safety in all weather.
