OAKLAND, Calif. - Vandals sliced through thick cables at an Oakland electric vehicle charging station, leaving drivers powerless.
Nearly a dozen charging cables are missing from the EVgo charging station at 409 Washington Street near Jack London Square. The chargers have been out of commission for at least a week.

Not as many Amish in Helsinki, that’s why.
Yet.
You just described the Democratic Party to a tee—they are evil because they are evil—no need to dig deeper.
People who don’t consider worst-case or negative scenarios.
Copper theft is so far down the ladder of crime these days the thieves probably only have to worry about irate drivers catching them in the act.
George Shearing too
They could but theres a lot more space for cables in an RV than an EV. Level 3 chargers have heavy thick cables. Most RVs don’t even use level 3 sized cables to plug in. And most EVs are already carrying a smaller emergency level 1 cable and charger around all the time in case of trouble.
Hi.
How much does the salvaged copper weigh?
At $3.88 per pound, that could add up.
5.56mm
They already are in charge of America.
You won’t be able to get gas because they’re eliminating gas-powered cars, and you won’t be able to charge an EV because there is no penalty for stealing anything with a value under $1,000.
Freeze in the dark stuck in the snow if you voted democrat.
True - and totally avoidable by any designers who pay attention to how things work in the real world. The so-called "chargers" are really just smart switches that turn the power on only when they sense a safe connection to an EV with its own built-in charger. IOW, these charging stations are nearly the perfect copper theft targets.
This is bound to make you-know-who angry again.
This is why every law-abiding citizen should be deputized and equipped with devices that shoot to hurt like hell. Let the thives, taggers, and vandals feel some immediate pain.

There was a civilian employee at the Norfolk Navy base ,he was stealing the shore power cables from the piers.
The solution for the companies, since the government won’t stop the thieves, is for the drivers to carry their own charger cables with them, just like charging your phone.

I thought this would happen, but no one talked about it. Of course they’ll steal them!!!
