Q Can I sit in my electric car while it charges?

Yes, you can sit in your electric car while it charges, and many drivers do so to relax or stay comfortable. Concerns have been raised in the past about potential interference from EV charging currents with medical devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators. However, a study published in the European Society of Cardiology journal found no evidence to support this. So, whether you have a medical device or not, sitting in your car while it charges is generally safe. To avoid longer charging times, try not to keep the car on whilst it charges and avoid using screens or other features that rely on the battery. Remember to vacate the bay promptly once your charging session is complete to ensure a smooth experience for others.
