Help - Advise needed

[drjat]

I drove in rain with charging flap (and rubber cap) open. What should I do now? Only realised after reaching home

 

[EWD]

I'd put the bung back in and close the flap.

You can open it back up again and let it dry out when it stops raining.

Solved - I think. Used leaf blower, foot pump and ear buds. All dry now. Leaving the cap / bung open unplugged now as good sunshine.
How long should I leave before charging it next time?

If it's dry you are good to go.

I've done it loads of times. As suggested above, just open it when dry and leave to dry. I wouldn't touch it with ear buds or anything personally, just incase.

I recon it will be OK to use now.

The contacts won't be live to the HV battery - there's a contactor in there somewhere that has to close (and which presumably won't until plugged into a charger) before that'll happen.

You're probably right, but would you trust your wet hands on those sockets? I wouldn't just incase. Safety first

Most definitely not. I'd get the wife to do it

Charged this evening - all OK. Panic over. Thank you all

But when it is pouring rain and you're charging it Will get wet again. So no worries, Just use it.
