Pay attention to these four points when charging new energy vehicles in rainy days.

Pay attention to these four points when charging new energy vehicles in rainy days.

Recently, I visited many friends to keep out the rain.

Specially purchased for charging piles.

The so-called charging rain cover for new energy vehicles

Although I don't understand

But I can understand the worries and concerns of strangers.

So, first of all, let's summarize.

What friends worry about and worry about.

Is it safe to charge outdoors in rainy days?

Will there be problems such as short circuit and leakage of charging piles?

Is it necessary to buy a rain cover for charging piles?

Today, I want to talk to you.

Is it safe to charge new energy vehicles outdoors in rainy days?

First of all, if you want to know whether there is any problem in charging new energy vehicles outdoors in rainy days, I suggest you look at it from the car end and the pile end. First, according to the survey, basically 99% of electric vehicles on the market are designed with insulation and drainage when designing the charging interface. After the charging gun head is correctly connected with the electric vehicle, the charging interface of the vehicle is in a sealed state, and rainwater cannot enter, thus achieving the insulation effect.

At the same time, the design of the "three electric systems" (motor, electronic control and battery) of new energy vehicles basically adopts the fully enclosed mode. From a technical point of view, there will be no external liquid infiltration, thus avoiding the occurrence of water ingress and electrical short circuit when the vehicle is charged. Moreover, pure electric vehicles are different from fuel vehicles, and need to inhale air to support combustion, so there is no need to worry about short circuit and water leakage of the electric drive system.

Charging pile: protection grade IP54.

I believe that all friends have a certain understanding of the design of the rear end. Now let's learn about the design of pile end together. With the wide application of charging piles, for the sake of safety, the country now has strict standards for the design and production of charging piles. Only in terms of waterproof performance, according to the relevant national regulations, the waterproof performance of the charging pile must reach at least level 4, which is "4" in "IP54" (the first number is "5", which is the dustproof level).

Generally speaking, as long as the charging pile reaches IP54 level, there will be no problems in rainy days. All the charging piles of Star Call are up to standard, and some charging piles can even reach IP66 and IP67.

Moreover, in the process of laying the charging pile, not only the ground hardening and foundation protection will be carried out at the bottom of the charging facility, but also the lower part of the electric pile body 20~30 cm will have the ability to prevent water flooding. Even if the charging pile is flooded, the pile has short circuit protection and leakage protection functions to ensure the charging safety of the owner.

Tips: Try to avoid charging in thunderstorm weather.

Don't be confused. It should be said that although the thunderstorm weather does not affect the normal charging, the following aspects still need special attention in the daily charging process:

① When there is too much water around the charging pile, especially when the main part of the charging pile has been flooded, please do not approach and charge. At this time, please contact the station administrator or Star Call Customer Service immediately to inform us, and we will send engineers to the scene in time to avoid accidents.

(2) When plugging and unplugging the charging gun, please keep the muzzle down. If conditions permit, please cover it properly with rain gear to avoid excessive water accumulation in the charging port, which may cause short circuit to hurt you;

(3) Try not to charge outdoors in thunderstorm weather unless necessary;

(4) I also hope that friends will try to put the charging gun back in place after charging the battery, so as to reduce the chance of equipment damage and avoid inconvenience when you need it.

I believe that all your friends will pass the small science popularization above.

On whether it is possible to charge in the open air in rainy days.

Have a certain basic understanding and judgment

Although the charging pile has many protection functions

It can cope with extreme environments such as extreme cold, extreme heat, extreme humidity and extreme salt.

But I still suggest you come here.

In the actual charging process

Be sure to keep yourself safe.
