Pricey EV charging cables are now being stolen
🤡 CLIMATE CONTROL 🤡
Yet another weak link in the EV chain.
"A guy tried to break into my car [to steal the charging cord]... but a neighbor stopped him. Within a few weeks, two other neighbors had theirs taken," posted another resident.
"I never had a concern about charging my car in the driveway. I've had electric cars for eight years, and never had a problem," Schneiderman told NBC4.
And replacing his stolen cable was pricey at $2,700, though charging cords for other EVs are less.
They filled the State full of the Homeless and Drug addicts. Reduced if not outright eliminated penalties and prison sentences for people of certain groups. And are whining people are stealing everything not nailed down. Including unsurprisingly the giant metal cable that can be sold for scrap in short order.
Though stealing wiring and cables is usually tactic favored by addicts who aren’t yet desperate enough to try holding up a store or robbing someone directly.
Shouldn't support the leftist decay then. All they do is import and infantilize criminals.
Thousands? Must be Teslas. If you buy EVs that use the standard J1772 L2 connector, you can buy the whole charger with a cable for $570. But, I agree thievery is thievery.

Tesla L2 chargers are 475 bucks... among the cheapest options, definitely not thousands.
Sorry, I assumed Tesla because it's the only one I didn't know about. Where are they getting the 2k figure?
The guy in that video has an Audi e-tron... $2700 mentioned definitely seems steep but it's Audi in LA so I'm sure there's lots of markup going on.
They get 20-50 bucks (if even that much), and cost the owner of the car thousands. Pure evil.
That’s the joke about having these in big cities. All this shit will always get stolen. If it has copper then forget about it.
People stealing the copper wires off the house? Nooo Waaaayyy. Who would've guessed?
Any laws against pulling my EV up to your house and charging in your driveway when youre not home?
