I predicted this would be a problem.
A bank of chargers is currently being installed in a Ralph’s supermarket parking lot near my house. There’s an 8 foot barbed wire fence currently around it and its located at a major intersection near a police station [Van Nuys Blvd & Burbank, if you know the area].
I’m giving it about 6-12 hours once open before it is stripped.
As did I. So much so in fact, that I've wondered why this hasn't been a widespread issue. I just assumed that since the copper is such an obvious theft target, the cables were heavily armored in some way that made them difficult to cut.
Silly me.
