It is often a question for users and owners of electric cars, are they safe when driving an electric car in heavy rain or heavy rain? Whether it's about battery life, charging logistics, to safety from lightning storms.

Of course, these various questions are based on the idea that water and electricity cannot be combined, sometimes it can even trigger a short circuit. In fact, electric cars can be said to be safe to use when it rains heavily. Plus, seeing the convenience of electric cars, there are many other advantages such as instant torque and the convenience of being able to charge at home.

Quoted from motorandwheels.com, electric cars are very safe to use in various operating conditions. Not only wet or dry, but can also withstand heat and cold, clean or dusty, and even dry or oily.

In particular, it can also be operated when it rains heavily. However, it cannot be used to pass through flooded areas due to heavy rains. Although various components in this battery-operated car have been safely stored in water-frequency containers.

It is stated on the carandbike.com page, that all batteries in EVs are equipped with Ingress Protection or IP ratings. Thus, the code is capable of assessing the level of mechanical protection against any dust, accidental contact, and water.

Then when at one time the driver is caught in a thunderstorm, it is recommended to stop first. If lightning strikes a vehicle, then the voltage will transfer to the metal body, tires, and then to the ground.

Although most electric cars are equipped with a ground-fault system designed to test the electrical connection between the high-voltage system and the metal vehicle body. This system will also detect a ground fault which will shut off the power supply to high voltage components.
