China [CN]

From an astronomical perspective, climate change is currently significant, and new energy electric vehicles play an important role in responding to climate change and controlling air pollution. Weather has an important impact on the use and performance of new energy electric vehicles.

Among them, it is very important to charge the car correctly in rainy weather. Here are some suggestions:

1. Use waterproof plugs and sockets: Make sure to use waterproof plugs and sockets to protect wires and connections from rain. This maintains the safety and reliability of charging equipment.

2. Choose a suitable charging location: Choose a rain-proof charging location, such as an outdoor charging pile, garage or covered parking lot. Avoid charging in open places to reduce the impact of rain on charging equipment and vehicles.

3. Avoid flooding: Make sure the charger and connecting lines are away from waterlogged areas to prevent rainwater from flooding into the charging equipment and vehicle interior to prevent electrical failure and damage.

4. Protect connecting parts: Before connecting the plug and charging port, make sure the plug and charging port are dry and clean, and there is no accumulation of water or moisture. Use a clean rag or paper towel to wipe the plug and charging port to ensure a good connection.

5. Pay attention to the layout of wires: Arrange the wires properly to avoid them hanging around the vehicle to prevent them from being dragged to the ground or getting wet by rain. Keep wires away from wheels and moving parts of the vehicle to prevent damage.

6. Regularly check the charging equipment: Regularly check the electrical safety and waterproof performance of the charging equipment to ensure that the equipment is working properly. If the charging equipment shows signs of damage or water damage, it should be stopped immediately and repaired.

In summary, it is very important to ensure safety and protective measures when charging your car, especially in rainy weather. By following the above recommendations, you can ensure a safe and reliable charging process.
