Usually,Most of people will ask,Is it possible to charge for ev in rainy day? Some people think it is not safe,Because it may lead to Short circuit，The other people think it is safe.
In fact,All charging parts have a strict waterproof standard,Usually the waterproof is IP67.
The charging pile is safe to charge when it rains, and the interface design has reached IPx 6 – IPx 7 (IPX is an internationally recognized waterproof level certification system. It is used to mark the waterproof of the product in outdoor, diving, and many other equipment. Level is the most common technical indicator.) Waterproof rating, that is, when some water splashes or even heavy rain strikes, it will not cause damage to the parts. It is also just that when a large amount of water enters the charging interface, the charging gun and the charging port cannot be fully contacted, cannot be charged, or the problem of charging the pile causes a power jump, which does not cause any harm to the personnel.
So what should we do in rainy days,There are some suggestions below:
1. pull gun under umbrella : Always keep an umbrella in the car. Please charge the umbrella no matter how big the rain is. When the charging gun is pulled out from the pile, check whether the gun head is intact and there is any foreign matter such as water inside. (If there is a small amount of water drops, you can do it twice.) This step is to eliminate the risk of improper charging of the previous charging car owner, resulting in the charging head. At the same time charging in the rain For safety reasons, please umbrella throughout the process, to avoid exposure of key parts such as charging guns and charging ports to rain.
2. Confirm that the gun head is connected correctly: After checking the charging gun is correct, open the protective cover of the body charging port and insert the charging gun. Make sure that you hear the click of the buckle, the charging gun and the charging port are connected, and once the two are connected, it is a tight and airtight whole, and the owner does not have to worry about the water ingress.
3. Check if the charging pile works normally: After the charging gun is plugged in, start charging. At this time, check the control panel on the charging post. It shows whether charging has started. If it is not already, see if it is caused by contact problems. If it is a connection problem, just plug and unplug the charging gun at this time.
4. After charging the gun, close the charging port at the first time: After charging, first finish the charging process and then pull out the charging gun from the body, and immediately cover the two covers of the body charging port at the same time as the gun is pulled.
5.charging plug back : put the charging gun head back to the original position, pay attention to avoid rain splashing into the gun head, convenient for the next charging owner.
