Bollards, curbs, and wheel stops are used to protect charging equipment from what?

Bollards, curbs, and wheel stops are specifically designed to protect charging equipment from physical damage caused by vehicles. These protective barriers create a safe perimeter around charging stations to prevent accidental collisions by cars, trucks, or other vehicles. The placement of such structures ensures that, even in busy or congested areas, the charging equipment remains secure from impacts that could cause operational damage or safety hazards. While weather protection, vandalism, and unauthorized access are important considerations for charging stations, the primary function of these physical barriers is to guard against vehicular interference.
