I read in Manual , not to fill gas into rex , while charging.
But i cant think of a reason , why doing both together is an issue , but doing so, individually is safe.

When i top up my rex with my personal gas can, it does take some time, as safety gas cans are slow .

I was wondering if any one can shed some light , why putting gas from a gas can into rex , while charging is more unsafe than doing them sequentially ?
 
I think that it's fairly straight forward such that 1. while refueling there are always highly volatile evaporating gases present 2. simultaneously connecting the vehicle to electricity can create the potential for static discharge to occur 3. Some Darwin award winners , unfortunately , do not live to receive their trophy .
