I foresee some UX challenges with ice and snow during winter.

In Cologne, like many German towns, ice and snow is an issue about two weeks a year (in a cold year). And even then, that's what the city's road clearing services are for.

Yea Climate Change already solved that one.

I certainly remember proper Winters, but I understand they are a thing of the past.

German dogs prefer trees and corners.

Hydrants, lamps, bicycles, tires, ... anything that looks different from a standard curb. Not sure if doggy will be attracted by the cover when in ground, but by a nice oversized plug sticking out for sure.

People will shame dog owners who allow their dogs to pee or poop on chargers. Which won't completely eliminate the problem, but should limit it.

Not sure that would work in the US though.

Right, because shaming dog owners has proven time over time to eliminate bad behavior effectively /s

In the US they will be cancelled.
