I have never seen a EVSE with any serious spike protection. Its up to the car. I live in South Florida, We have a lot of severe thunder storms, My leaf has survived 3 years with charging on the driveway.. If you worry about things like this get whole house surge protection.

We live in an area with a fair number of thunderstorms and we see the lights blink a couple of times during a storm. I have some appliances on surge protectors which leads to: 1) How well are the home charging stations able to handle voltage spikes and not transmit the voltage to a pack? 2) Should an EV be disconnected from the grid during a thunderstorm? 3) Has anyone on this list examined the schematics for the various at home charging stations to try to determine the better ones? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
