Using Flexible Fast Charger on Outdoor Port

wploog · Sep 1, 2023

I need to charge the Mini Cooper outdoors rather than inside the garage. Can/should I use the the Flexible Fast Charger in an outdoor port? I don't find any examples on Youtube; I am concerned that it might be possible, but ill-advised. The car is driven in northern New England.

thanks,

Bill

Flexible fast charger? My mini is charged outdoors always in all weathers no issues via a 7 kw pod point. All waterproof though freezing weather can cause a stuck plug from what I've read.

The manual states that it's IP67 rated, but shouldn't be submerged. It should be fine as long as you keep the main brick off the ground.
