Is a charging point weatherproof? In other words, what is the difference in lifespan if the charging point is installed outdoors or indoors?
An electric vehicle charging point may or may not be weatherproof, depending on the specific model and manufacturer. Weatherproof charging points are designed to be used both indoors and outdoors, providing protection against various weather conditions, such as rain and snow. They typically have a longer lifespan and are resistant to the elements.
Charging points designed exclusively for indoor use may not be suitable for outdoor use and may wear out more quickly when exposed to the elements. The difference in lifespan depends greatly on the specific features and quality of the charging point.
If you plan to install a charging point outdoors, it is advisable to choose a weatherproof model to maximize its lifespan and ensure it remains reliable, even in various weather conditions.
All charging points offered by Stroohm are weatherproof and, when applicable, can be installed outdoors year-round without any issues.
