How To Wash Your EV Safely

An electric vehicle can be washed just like any other car, but take extra care around the charging port.

1. Wash as normal. An EV can be washed on the outside just like any other car.

2. Close the charging port cover fully. Check it every time before washing.

3. Avoid high-pressure water near the charging port. To reduce the risk from moisture.

4. Dry it before charging. Especially around the connector and charging port.

5. If any warning light appears, check it before continuing to use the car.

Recommendation: use a cloth and cleaning products suited to your car's paint, and always check the car over after washing.

In summary, washing your EV the right way keeps it clean and boosts your confidence in using it.
