More and more drivers are choosing to go electric, with over 100,000 electric vehicles on Oregon’s roads alone. One question we’re sometimes asked is whether it's safe to take electric models through an automatic car wash. The answer is—yes! Today’s electric cars are built to withstand the elements and come with fully-sealed electrical systems, meaning you can take them in full confidence through any Kaady Car Wash. And because we conserve water and protect the environment by keeping contaminants out of rivers and streams, you can feel even better about trusting your electric vehicle to us.
Of course, you’ll want ensure your charging port door is fully closed, and automatic rain-sensing wipers are off. Prior to washing, familiarize yourself with shifting to neutral and turning off any “auto-hold” features. (If you have questions, feel free to ask us before entering the line.) Bottom line: whatever powers your vehicle, we’ve got you covered.
