Humid weather charging issues

[queen of soul]

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this experience. It appears to charge much slower in my garage during hot weather, especially when all of the doors are closed. It charged much faster at my friend's house (in an open area).

Since I began charging in my garage also, my charging speed has dropped to 25 kW. It's slower, but as long as it gets the job done, I'm not too concerned.

Why will you close it then if it slows down the charging? Is it not safe in your area to keep your garage open while charging?

Based on your observations, an enclosed place with high humidity affects the charging efficiency of your EV. There might be truth to what you're saying, try and experiment on the charging efficiency with different temperatures

Temperature of your surroundings can affect charging speed just the same as the temperature will affect how fast the battery gets drained. But if this happens even after you did something to keep the heat down then I suggest getting it serviced.

I've learned to keep your area ventilated if you're planning to charge it inside your garage. Appreciate your inputs everyone.
