Put them in your garage then understand that by and large they use lithium batteries and those hate water. Store your water and lithium separately.
They also hate being shorted out. There are whole car brands, both gas and electric, with a manufacturing error that rivals the hoverboard in spontaneous combustion, completely unprovoked. Sometimes the battery just says "I give up" without rhyme or reason. And an average car fire soars ten meters into the sky at its peak, it's not something you could just "put out" if caught in time. If it's in a driveway, you typically just end up with a crisp car, but in a garage, it's like playing Russian roulette with your whole house. Would not recommend.
Considering charging requirements and elements, I would still say buy full coverage insurance for your house and keep it in the garage. These things are not lighting up like matches.
You would be surprised. And nobody can replace lives.
