Let’s start with the EVSE chargers themselves. At home or in public charging stations, they are hard-wired into the ground. The units themselves undergo a very strict regimen of testing to ensure that they can last in any weather. The testing itself typically goes on in OSHA-certified laboratories, meaning they conform to federally mandated safety standards. They also have to meet standards set by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). Whether you are charging your EV at home or using a public charging station, you can rest assured that the chargers are specifically designed to withstand the elements. EV charging points that you use at home are perfectly safe to use in the rain. Just make sure your home charger is properly installed and that your car is plugged in correctly, and you’ll be good to go – rain or shine. To ensure safety, electric car chargers must meet safety standards set by the National Electrical Code (NEC) and Underwriters Laboratory (UL). All JuiceBox charging stations meet the safety requirements of NEC Article 625 and UL 2594, and they also meet NEMA-4 standards. This includes a gasketed door enclosure for indoor or outdoor use, which provides a degree of protection against windblown dust and rain, splashing water, hose-directed water, and ice that forms on the enclosure.From this, we can see that the charging station and the connector — the two parts that sit outdoors constantly exposed to the rain — are very well protected from the rain as they are. Most OEMs advise that so long as the charging connector is always left hanging down, then water cannot and will not get into the connector and thus by extension won’t get into the charging port or the interior of the vehicle. Electric vehicles have many benefits, including their environmental friendliness and energy efficiency. One of the concerns that many people have when it comes to charging their electric vehicles (EVs) is whether the chargers can withstand exposure to wet conditions. Here, we will dispel any myths and explain why you can charge your EV in the rain without any problems. Indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against access to hazardous parts Electric car charger manufacturers have come up with waterproofing solutions, such as rain-resistant chargers and electric car charger enclosure waterproofing, to prevent any water damage to the charger’s internal components. Investing in a waterproof EV charger is essential as it ensures that your charger lasts long and reduces servicing and maintenance costs. Can Electric Car Chargers Get Wet? Risks and Solutions
