Using a pavement cable cover can help you give people “adequate warning” of your EV charging cable, and help minimise the risk of liability if someone does accidentally trip. Okay, let’s focus on the following inquiries to know more information. These can help you conduct the product research and made your final decision. 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. 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.

Can you imagine what would happen if the same situation were to occur with petrol or diesel? There’s been huge levels of theft and a lot of very unhappy homeowners. 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. At this point, we have not heard of anyone having their EV charge stolen from their own home and it is our view that this is likely to be a rare issue because of the reasons we have given above.

But, whilst in principle, it is the same, in practice it is very different. How? Well, the difference is two-fold.
