LOL...the 2024 version of sugar in the gas tank.
Yo! Illegal Aliens, there is a lot of copper in them there chargers.
No taxpayer money to fix private-owned charging stations.
There are articles about the high failure rate of these chargers, unlike gas pumps and that the chargers have a life span of 5 to 7.5 years, again unlike gas pumps which last decades.
I can snake an extension cord from my garage out to the street, and put a sign on it.
Charge Here.
Can I get some of that $10 Mill?
Only if it’s broken..................
“there are about 2,900 EV charging ports available for public use in Oregon total”
how may tens of thousands of gas pumps? ... and remember it takes at least 10 times as long to charge an EV as to fill a gas tank, so however many tens of thousands of gas pumps there are, multiply that by a factor of ten (including parking slots) for a 100% EV fleet ...
As long as you don’t to go skiing or tow a trailer they are just impractical. Otherwise they are deadly. Still very good for Virtue Grandstanding in the Starbucks line.
Don’t even have to open them. The cord to the car is a few pounds of copper
Never mind whether or not CO2 is some evil climate killer, only a small percentage of CO2 emissions stem from transportation (ALL transportation, not just cars), so clearly more EVs on the road are NOT the best way to address some prognosticated climate change.

For some broken EV charging stations, fix them, and the copper thieves will be back real soon
