Can Rain or Lightning Damage Your EV Charger?
It's one of the most common questions EV owners ask.
The answer: A quality EV charger is designed to handle rain. Outdoor chargers come with weatherproof protection (IP-rated enclosures), making them safe to use even during rainfall.
However, during thunderstorms with lightning, it's always best to avoid charging your EV. While modern chargers have built-in safety features, a direct or nearby lightning strike can cause power surges that may damage electrical equipment.
