If the electric vehicle is caught in the rain while charging, the following measures can be taken, unplug the charger immediately, cut off the power supply, and prevent further danger. Check whether the charging port and charging gun are wet in the rain, and if they are wet, do not use them to prevent electric shock accidents.

If the electric vehicle gets wet in the rain, it is best to move the electric vehicle to a safe place and wait for it to dry naturally. Do not use hot air to dry or wipe with a rag to avoid short circuit or damage to electrical components.

If there are water droplets or foreign objects in the charging port, charging gun or other parts, they should be cleaned up in time, and they can be wiped with a cotton swab or a clean cloth.

Do not use the charging device again to charge the electric vehicle until it has dried naturally to avoid further damage.

In short, if the electric vehicle is rained while charging, you should take immediate measures to cut off the power supply and wait for it to dry naturally, and do not use hot air to dry or wipe it, so as not to cause a short circuit or damage to the electrical components.

At the same time, do not use the charging device again to charge it before drying it to avoid further damage. If the situation is serious or you can't deal with it, it is recommended to contact professional maintenance personnel or manufacturers for repair and maintenance in time.
