The Cool Plant

There is a plant. It is 5° C colder than everything else around it. This is strange because it is in the sun and hot air. The plant should get hot like everything else.

The plant does not get hot because it is full of water. The water evaporates when the plant is in the sun. This makes the plant cool.

Just like the plant, cities and chargers can get hot. They need to manage heat to work properly.
