Mobile Charger Connect waterproof?!

[DQLAV]

Today we made our first trip with the Taycan. On the way we stopped and we charged for the first time at IONITY, this went very well.
Of course we took the Mobile Charger Connect with us to charge it on location (although very slow 230v - 10A, but just that little bit of extra juice is always nice). What I would like to confirm from you is whether the mobile charger connect is waterproof.

In the manual I only found that the charger should not be exposed to direct sunlight, but I have not heard anything about waterproofing. So can I use the charger during a (heavy) rain shower?
My guess would be i CAN, but to be sure i'd rather check it out to be safe

From the mobile charger manual I found this:

Protect electrical sockets and plug connections
against moisture, water and other liquids.

and

Porsche recommends that the charger be placed
in the basic wall mount during operation.
Depending on the country, e.g. in Switzerland 1),
the charger may only be operated in the basic
wall mount.
f Refer to chapter "Basic Wall Mount" on
page 31.
e Do not immerse the charger in water.
e Protect the charger against snow and ice.

So, I think it can be used in the rain, but not underwater.
With 'Protect electrical sockets and plug connections' do they mean only the connection in the wall socket, or also the plugs connecting the cables with the charging unit? However, I'm just going to charge overnight and let's see what happens if it start raining..
Any other owners who may have an answer / experience?

I would try to keep the unit out of the rain. Where you are can you arrange to keep the sockets/plugs protected from the rain? On my boat I arranged the power cord sockets to be in a locker out of the rain.

Thanks! I'm going to put the unit inside and let the cable run out the window, hope the cable is long enough but I think i could manage it.

You charge your Taycan from your boat? How big is this boat of yours? Wait...are you really Don Johnson?

Ha Ha. Two separate charging activities.
