Tips to maintain electric cars during monsoon

"Heavy rains, blocked roads, and electrical inefficiency have all contributed to the challenges of regular vehicle maintenance. The problem appears to be worsened if you own an electric vehicle."

The monsoon has arrived in the country, bringing with it heavy rainfall and automobile damage. Continuous rains have worsened the situation in Nepal.

Heavy rains, blocked roads, and electrical inefficiency have all contributed to the challenges of regular vehicle maintenance. The problem appears to be worsened if you own an electric vehicle.

So, here are five things you should do to protect your Electric cars from the monsoon.

Safe Charging

Electric energy is used to power an e-car, which is obtained through charging. Charging, on the other hand, might be a challenge during the monsoon.

Current shocks are a frequent occurrence during this type of weather, and they can do serious damage to the car and other electronics.

It may produce short-circuit in the charging point, affecting the car's internal circuits. All of this may be avoided by charging the automobile in a dry, enclosed location.

Charge your car indoors, away from the rain, in a shed or garage. Avoid charging in the case of heavy weather, such as thunderstorms or lightning.

Always use an authorized charger:

The original chargers that come with electric cars are designed with suitable covering shields and protective layers to prevent short-circuits, sparks, current loss, and other issues.

As a result, it is always suggested that you charge your EV with an OEM-issued charger.

Keep a check on the battery:

This season's humidity may cause corrosion of mechanical components such as battery connectors, reducing the battery's life and strength.

Rain can also cause problems with the car's appearance. It's best to keep your electric car covered when it's parked to avoid this.

Charge in a dry area:

Make sure the charger is dry and clean before using it. This season's humidity may cause damage to mechanical systems such as battery connectors, reducing the battery's life and strength.

Rain can also cause problems with the car's appearance. It's best to keep your electric car covered when it's parked to avoid this.

Don't forget about the cabin:

 It's easy to overlook the cabin, especially when one's attention is drawn to the electrical parts. This, however, is just as crucial as the others.

Rain can also cause problems in the cabin, causing a bad odor to grow inside due to filthy shoes, moist chairs, and other factors.

Use a newspaper in the footwell to soak up any moisture to remove and prevent similar odors. You can also dry the moist places using a hair dryer.

Fabric carpet mats easily get damped and soiled during monsoons. It also leads to unwanted moistness and odour issue in our cabin. And so it is always advisable to install rubber mats inside the car as they will not only prevent the fabric mats from getting wet, but also are easy to maintain.

Mud Flaps

Car accessories for monsoon

Mud flaps are one of the most basic and essential accessories on a car and they are primarily required to save fellow motorists from tyre splashes and also prevent your car from a "mud bath". While we recommend you to have mud flaps assembled on your cars throughout the year, they are all the more necessary in monsoons.

Wiper Blades

Car accessories for monsoon

The general rule of thumb is to replace your wiper blades every six to twelve months. But depending on where you live and how often you drive, you may need to replace them sooner.

Rain Shoe Cover

Car accessories for monsoon

Rain shoe covers are one of the latest innovations in the accessories market and they are a saviour in monsoons. These shoe covers are made of silicon and are worn over your shoes, providing an additional waterproof layer for your shoes.

So in a way they are raincoats for your shoes. They save them from getting wet and soiled during monsoons and you simply need to take them off when you step inside the car and can put on when steeping out. They can also be folded and so are easy to store in door pockets.
