This has been discussed many times before...
If you live in the north, the wipers can run for very long periods during the winter, to keep the slush off the windshield from the cars (and especially the big SUV's and trucks!) in front of you. You also use quite a bit of windshield washer fluid to keep the windshiels clean...........
You have to remember than not everyone lives where it is warm all the time, or where you get a 30 minute shower every now and then!
So with no alternator being run by the big ICE to power these loads, it is a concern to the engineers! And the last thing they want is bad reviews of the car's AER, because the wipers draw too much power!
