A brief introduction to travel in rainy days and whether Electric Car can be charged in rainy days

2024 11/06

1. Rainy days are very slow, and the road is very slippery in rainy days. You must drive slowly when driving. It is necessary to judge the wading depth and road conditions under the water surface to avoid the situation of tires or entrapment, and maintain a safe speed. It is recommended to pass through the water not exceeding 20cm. The vehicle waterproof level can reach IP67, and the safety index is still very high.

2. In order to prevent the tires from slipping, the ground is wet in rainy days, and the friction force of the tires is greatly reduced after wetting, so do not brake suddenly when turning, it is best to decelerate linearly, and then enter the curve. Avoid the steering wheel, do not brake when changing the direction of travel, and the mentality must be stable, do not panic!
3. Use air conditioning, lighting, rain, and the outdoor air temperature will drop, and the water vapor in the car will easily condense into windshield fog. Therefore, on rainy days, remember to turn on the car's air conditioner so that the line of sight can pass through the windshield clearly. Also, to maintain a safe and reasonable distance, fog lights are always on for safety and headlights should not be used.
4. Choose high parking. When parking, do not place it in low-lying areas, trees, high-voltage electricity, fire sources and other dangerous places. Choose the ground and high water level to avoid rainwater flooding and accumulating on the body, and let the battery soak in water for a long time.
5. Avoid rain and charging. When charging outdoors, measures should be taken to avoid rain. When opening the charging port, be sure to cleanly wipe away any water around it. When the charging handle is removed, water will flow into the socket and cause safety issues. Keep the charging port. 
Consumer concerns are also on the engineer's mind. While there are plenty of cells in the battery pack, it's covered in a thick, sealed metal casing that's rated IP67 for water resistance. This means that it can be fully submerged in 1 meter of water for half an hour at normal temperature and pressure without harmful effects. The motor, because it does not require air to work, is also completely sealed and is not afraid of water. As for the high-voltage lines, it is also finished according to the highest insulation requirements.
Therefore, in rainy days, Oil Electric Hybrid Sedan can still be charged normally. However, when plugging and unplugging the charging cable, please be careful not to let rainwater wet the metal core of the charging port, so as not to damage the battery. In addition, do not charge during thunderstorms, so as not to damage the electrical appliances on the vehicle due to lightning strikes.
