I think it’s very crazy," said Aleksi Virtapuro who was visiting from Finland. "Why would somebody do something like that?"

Hey Akeski you may look at the demographic difference between Finland and Oakland

[NohSpinZone]

Not as many Amish in Helsinki, that’s why.

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.

[M Kehoe]

Hi.

How much does the salvaged copper weigh?

At $3.88 per pound, that could add up.

5.56mm

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.

> EV charging cables cut off and stolen from chargers in Oakland <

This is bound to make you-know-who angry again.

There was a civilian employee at the Norfolk Navy base ,he was stealing the shore power cables from the piers.

[T.B. Yoits]

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.

We are devolving into a lawless robocop world.

[rexthecat]

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

[Reno89519]

Recycling. Surprised there is not more f this going on.

[Reverend Wright]

Oh no ! EV @ssholes inconvenienced.

I think we have found the one criminal act where the Regime will aggressively enforce the law.

[dynachrome]

I still chuckle at a couple of meth heads who tried to steal copper from a power box at a defunct factory. One was still live. They chose....poorly.

[AZJeep]

Copper is $3,89 per pound.
DC fast charge stations cost up to $75.000 per one.
Cables are up to 500 A which requires about 4 wires of almost half an inch diameter. Plus heavy insulation for 480V.
Lots of cooper!
BTW, these cables with charging plug could be sold for home charging stations.
Even better profit!

[Magnum44]

[eyeamok]

All those charging stations should be eliminated unless they are 100% Green Renewable Energy in the first place, but if they insist on using DIRTY FOSSIL FUELS to charge the electric cars, they should be Taxed at a rate of $100 per KWH since they aren’t paying fuel taxes.

There is something allegorical about the latest in technology being defeated By the basest of human behavior.
