The invention discloses an electric vehicle charging pile comprising a charging pile body which is arranged on the ground or a wall, a wire for transmitting a current through the charging pile, a charging gun connected with one end of the wire and used for being inserted in a vehicle charging hole and a placing device for placing the charging gun, wherein the placing device includes a box body, aplacing chamber with a downward opening, a clamping component disposed in the placing chamber and a driving component for driving the clamping component to move upwards. The clamping component is matched with the charging gun to clamp the charging gun. The opening of the placing chamber is arranged to be downward. When falling to the box body, rainwater flows down along the left side and the rightside wall of the box body and does not permeate into the placing chamber during flowing, so that the placing chamber is internally continuously kept dry, it is ensured that the charging gun is not affected by moisture, and the short circuit and electric leakage and the like of the charging gun are effectively avoided.
