+==== harm reduction ====
+Assuming people are going to do it anyhow, here are some steps to reduce changes of a Bad Outcome:
+  * open the hood to allow excess underhood heat to escape.  Sun should not shine directly into the engine bay.
+  * point the vehicle's grille into any breeze, if present
+  * watch for red flags
+    * hot smells
+    * belt squealing
+    * engine RPM dropping significantly
+    * chassis voltage falling from normal levels (14.1v, or whatever you observe without charging)
+    * charger reporting less current than usual, if applicable
 ===== heating and cooling =====
