When you pull in, a quick scan tells you a lot:
- Level, paved pad — or at least a compacted, stable surface
- Clear access aisle — wide enough to move around, free of snow and ice
- Reachable screen and connector — without leaning over obstacles
- Cable management — a swing arm, retractor, or overhead support
- Snow and ice cleared — from the stall, access aisle, and path to the charger
- Charger status visible — can you tell from your vehicle whether it's working?
