Charging in the snow/rain

[Uzzter]

Does anyone know how safe it is with prolonged exposure to the elements overnight (give or take 8-10 hours) whether it’s rain or snow from an outdoor wall mount charger. I live in Michigan and am curious what people will do during winters who will also be parking their lightning outside overnight. I see products on Amazon for charger port covers but they are either magnetic or suction based. Due to the aluminum body not being magnetic and suction not occurring during cold/freezing temps both will not work. Anyone have any ideas to help keep an active charging port safe from the elements or am I being too cautious?

Put a rain coat over it.

I have a grizzl-e charger. They are supposed to be great in bad weather. I’m also located in Michigan so I’ll find out soon!

You plug it in, end of story. Don't overthink it.

We don't have a garage and charged our Mach-e all through last year's upstate NY winter. Plan to do the same with the Lightning.
