Ensure your EV’s charging port has a proper rubber seal and cover. Water entering the port can damage sensitive electronics and interrupt charging. Always charge under a shelter or covered space to stay safe and avoid short circuits.

Electric vehicles are not built to navigate through flooded areas. Water can seep into the underbody and affect key components. Stick to higher roads and monitor rainfall alerts before stepping out during heavy showers.

Moisture buildup can corrode metal parts and affect sensors. Wipe your EV dry with a microfibre cloth after each drive, especially around door frames, mirrors, charging flaps, and window edges to prevent long-term damage.

Install all-weather rubber or PVC floor mats to prevent dampness and fungus buildup inside the cabin. Cloth mats retain water and may lead to a foul odour and microbial growth, especially during extended wet spells.

Tyre grip is crucial on slippery roads. Check tread depth and tyre pressure regularly. Also, ensure the brakes are responsive, as electric regenerative braking may feel different in wet conditions and take longer to engage.

Charging in the open during rainfall can lead to power leakage or damage to the charging cable. Always plug in your EV in a sheltered or indoor area. Use only weather-resistant chargers rated for outdoor use if needed.

The battery is the heart of your EV. Ensure the underbody protection is intact and avoid driving through high water levels. Water damage to the battery can be expensive and unsafe. Schedule regular battery health check-ups.

Monsoon humidity accelerates corrosion. Consider applying an anti-rust coating to your EV’s underbody and door panels. This not only extends vehicle life but also protects critical metal components from deterioration.

Stuffy interiors are common during monsoon. Run the AC in defog mode regularly and use cabin air filters to avoid misty windows and unpleasant smells. Clean the AC vents to ensure healthy airflow and reduce humidity buildup.
