As electric vehicle (EV) owners continue to navigate the challenges of charging on the go, a recent incident at a Walmart parking lot has sparked a heated debate about the lack of charging infrastructure protection from the elements. In a viral video, a Twitch streamer was seen charging their vehicle in the rain, prompting many to ask: why don't electric vehicle charging stations come equipped with canopies or other forms of weather protection? The issue is not just a matter of convenience, but also one of safety and reliability, as water and electrical systems can be a hazardous combination. As the adoption of EVs continues to grow, the need for more robust and user-friendly charging infrastructure has become increasingly pressing.
