Product Information

From this, we can see that the charging station and the connector — the two parts that sit outdoors constantly exposed to the rain — are very well protected from the rain as they are. Most OEMs advise that so long as the charging connector is always left hanging down, then water cannot and will not get into the connector and thus by extension won’t get into the charging port or the interior of the vehicle. 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. For others, however, whose garage either didn’t permit charging or for where there is no garage space, need to use outdoor charging solutions. The problem of rain and charging emerges and is genuinely concerning. We are so well trained to keep all things electrical far away and separate from water, that the idea of plugging something in while it’s raining out is enough to give us anxiety. The best ones, such as the EV cable storage solution from EV Hover , extend a long distance, and are foldable so that when it’s not in use it stays out of the way and flat against the wall.

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. There are a variety of charging cable connectors in common use for electric cars, and if you don’t know which one features on your car, it’s easy to tell them apart at a glance – but the handbook will tell you, too. The variants are Type 1 or Type 2 for cars compatible with fast chargers, and CCS or CHAdeMO for cars compatible with rapid chargers.

What is the best length EV charging cable?

Once connected to the charger, however, the gaps are sealed up and the charging process won’t be interrupted by any water ingress. Summary But let’s bring it closer to home, and if you have a garage then you’ve already experienced the inconvenience of an EV charging cable that’s in your way. Families that have live-in members from an older generation are especially at risk of tripping, not to mention families with small children. The biggest component of the solution to the problem presented by EV charging cables is to get them off the ground. If you choose to keep your EV charging cable on the ground then you should probably invest in a colorful cable cover, cones, or other methods of letting people know there’s a hazard.

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) IP65 rated (Control box) - IP65 when connected to vehicle, IP55 when not in use and end-cap applied Please remember to use the rubber dust cap to keep debris from collecting in the Type 2 connector when not in use. Indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against access to hazardous partsThe interior has a huge amount of protective technology designed to detect any sign of water ingress. In the unlikely event that water was able to get into the system, the cars will typically shut down the charging process, and it will be safe to remove the connector and close up the port again if needed. Technological advances such as EVs solve problems that will have important ramifications for the future, but as we happily walk to our EV’s in their parking spots at home we have to stop and look at what literally can trip up the entire process – EV charging cables. There are, however, a number of EV cable storage solutions that can solve these problems, and keep yourself and your loved ones safe and organized.

Typically rapid and super-rapid destination chargers, found at motorway services, supermarkets, shopping malls.
