Product Information

Provision of a degree of protection with respect to harmful effects on the equipment due to ingress of water (rain, sleet, snow, splashing water and hose directed water) Stuart Canvas has over 50 years of experience in producing bespoke textile covers for a wide range of industries, we can create one-off designs or accommodate high volume manufacturing runs.

These are simply made from synthetic cloth materials, which while durable and waterproof do not offer much of a solution to the more serious wintry problems that we described above. This is why those facing heavy snow and ice would more likely go for the full port cover idea. Always use an OEM-certified or the original charger that came with your EV. These chargers come with built-in protective layers to work efficiently during extreme weather conditions. The good news is that existing protections put in place by EVSE OEMs is more than sufficient in protecting it from rain and other water. Car port covers are a good idea for those who have larger and more exposed charging port areas, especially those located at the front of the vehicle. They not only offer additional protection from heavy rain, but also from snow and ice. What’s more, they are very portable and can be easily stored in your car, in your garage or in just about any drawer in your home. Public EV charging points are also safe to use in the rain. These chargers are built to withstand a lot and are 100% designed for outdoor use. Even if you are caught in a downpour or dealing with a little drizzle, don’t let the weather stop you from charging your car. Simply charge up as you need and keep your focus on getting to your destination safely, especially in adverse weather.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. These port covers are arguably the simplest solution to weatherproofing concerns. Assuming you have a charger that is outdoor rated and hard-wired, then the only other areas to protect are the port and the connector (see below for connector). To construct something larger around the charging port is impractical, so these smaller more contained solutions are very neat.

Electric car chargers are waterproof. In fact, all electric vehicle chargers are designed to be waterproof. The charging ports on EVs are specifically made to be weatherproof and water-resistant, meaning that the charging systems can handle even the heaviest rainstorms. The chargers are made with waterproof materials and are sealed against moisture to protect the car, the charger, and the user from any potential damage.We offer electric vehicle (EV) charging point covers in a variety of materials and designs at exceptional value for money. We offer bespoke solutions, accommodating all makes and models of electric charging points. The IP rating is made up of two digits. The first digit represents the level of protection against solid objects, and the second digit represents the level of protection against moisture. For instance, IP54 means the charger is protected against dust limited ingress and no harmful deposits, and it’s protected against water splashed from all directions, limited ingress permitted. You can find a detailed IP rating chart here. As the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and charging stations increases, so does the need for a robust and reliable charging infrastructure. One crucial factor that needs to be considered in this regard is the waterproofing of EV chargers. Many people are concerned about the safety of charging their EVs in wet conditions, and whether the electric car chargers waterproof or not.
