I am reading that a new challenge for charging stations is the charge cables are being stolen to get the copper. All you need is a good cutter and bye-bye in seconds.

And unlike a lot of other sources of copper that thieves plunder, they can be sure that the EV charging cable is not live when they cut it.

“And unlike a lot of other sources of copper that thieves plunder, they can be sure that the EV charging cable is not live when they cut it.”

Good point, though I read about people plugging into a charge station and coming back later to find the charge handle stuck in the vehicle and the cord gone. And their vehicle isn’t charged much either since the cord got cut during the charge process.
