I currently live in an apartment and charge my EV in the basement car park. Soon I’m moving to an independent house that has no garage or covered parking. My car will be sitting out in open driveway/entrance ramp

For those who charge outdoors:

• How do you handle charging in heavy rain? Is it safe to do so?
• Does direct sunlight and high heat cause any issues while the car is plugged in?
• Any dos and don'ts in this situation?

I'm used to the basement being dry and cool, so I’m not sure about how people manage it in the open
