Wind and rain have a real impact on usability:
- Wind makes cables swing and twist — difficult to control when guiding a connector to a port
- Blowing snow reduces visibility — of the charger, the ground, and the access aisle
- Rain makes surfaces slippery — and wet cables harder to grip
- Screens fog, frost, or collect water — reducing readability exactly when you need clear information
What helps: windbreaks, canopies, angled screens, and well-directed lighting.
