There are ways to mention the weather explicitly as a risk.
It did make me wonder what the applicable standards say about weatherproofing. It certainly seems to have been engineered into the design of the Type 2 end, both with the lip and the way that the plug angle makes runoff mostly run away from the socket.
The #BS1363 end is not rain-proof, of course.
In theory, a BYD car can have it's battery management system hacked, turning into a bomb when it is overcharged #electricvehicles #byd #climatecharge

The #FordKuga owner's manual that actually comes in the vehicle warns against putting the home charging connector cable in water, and warns against holding the home charging connector cable by the flexible cable.
Which of course immediately makes the careful novice user worried about rain. There is no occurrence of the word "rain" anywhere in Ford's user manual.
It's only from dodgy third-party WWW sites that one learns what seems to be the case from simple visual inspection: the home charging cable is weatherproofed (against light rain) when plugged in, as there is a lip that extends beyond the terminals; albeit that one does not want the fault/charging sensor box exposed to the elements.
#Ford, your manual should mention rain. It's such an obvious question.
I'm not sure whether the warning against holding the cable by the cable is especially because of a cable risk when live or is just the normal warning that non-rewireable plug sheaths are not load bearing.

One of the annoyances of the #FordKuga, which I suspect applies to all hybrid vehicles, is that the engine note is completely misleading.
The engine kicks in at unexpected times and at high revs that do not match the motive power being applied at all. If you are used to listening to engine note as a signal of when to change gear on a vehicle with manual transmission and liquid fuel, it is very jarring.
(Presumably it is running the engine at an optimal point on its power curve, which is of course one positive aspect to this.)
With a fully electric vehicle, there's no engine note and no problem. This is one of the in-between-two-stools things that is unique to hybrid vehicles.
On Europe's local-less-busy-routes train future now: a battery powered Stadler Flirt (Nordbahn, top of Germany).
It's.. just a nice spacious quiet practical boring commuter train. Has a spacious toilet with well designed diaper changing table.
And clean, maintained even! (looking at you GoCollective)
I ❤️ it
Edit: with toddler and @juliette. Both agree it's a good train.

It's a literal fire bomb!
PS: It would still burn your house down if you park in the garage.
