Charging Your EV in Rain or Snow

One question we get asked a lot is "can I charge my electric vehicle when it's raining or snowing?"

The answer is yes! It's perfectly safe to charge your EV in adverse weather. You can even wash your car while it's charging!

Our EV Expert David Giles shows you that it's safe to charge in nearly any weather condition, because electric vehicles are purposefully engineered to withstand rain and water intrusion.

My heart came in my throat when he put the charger in the bucket 😂😂😂

That demo is going to raise your life and medical insurance premiums😂

[shootmeink]

This is 240% of what I was looking for! Many thanks Sir!

[akalilbit]

😱😱😱 that scared me. Lol but now I have confidence I won’t die if I have to charge in the rain

[piglett]

Amazing and quick video. Answered all of my concerns and went above and beyond to show off the cool feature!!!

[kelalamusic]

That is reassuring. Much thanks. Now all they need to provide is canopies over the charging stations like they do for gas cars.

This demo deserves an Oscar… Terse and informative. Addressed all my concerns.

Nice to see.. today i had a bit of water from rain around the connector than I spent 20min drying very carefully everything off before plugging .. well now I feel like a moron 😅

[martinmartin]

holy waterbucket batman! what an amazing video, i would not have thought it was this safe

[MrSmith-oktl]

Wow! I feel much better! My new F150 Lightning is outside charging and it just started raining. So off to Youtube I went to see if I need to do anything. Looks like the short answer is no, its fine. Thanks for the "extreme" demonstration.

I could see a natural trepidation when he was doing the water tricks

[EricOnYouTube]

Oh, great info. I did not know and was avoiding recharging while it rains.

[wojciechzgodowski]

If you have senior citizens in the house wash your car while charging and watch them run around like crazy screaming that you'll get electrocuted 🤣

[imark]

I fucking love this video. Thank you for the demonstration.

[stvargas]

Holy scrap man! Thanks for the infon& the heart attack

[JehanVevaina]

He really wanted to drive his point home!

[ericsevern]

Thank you! This answers questions. But I have more. What about leaving the car charging during a snow or freezing rain storm? Are the charging plug and port heated to keep things from freezing? Or do they still freeze but they're fine? (How would I be able to unplug if they're frozen? Etc.)

Corrosion of critical components over long term? Nobody knows.
