Charging Teslas in the rain is safe

Tesla has made sure that its electric vehicles can be used in a variety of weather conditions. So the good news is that you can safely charge your car when it rains.

Tesla Safety Measures in Charging Systems

Tesla has done a great job of making charging as comfortable and safe as possible. The company always prioritizes safety and reliability in its electric vehicles. Tesla Superchargers and Wall Connectors are designed for extreme weather resistance. They have the necessary insulation to prevent water from entering critical components.

• Inspect the charging equipment for damage. If you find damage, do not charge.
• Use dry hands to connect the charging cable to your vehicle.
