    No joke. This is a crime problem not a EV bad, gas good” thing. I’m sure gas stations get ripped off / vandalized all the time, too.

      Yeah and gas stations often have an employee and cameras around which probably makes theft occurrences less likely compared to a charging station that has no one around and likely no dedicated cameras in place.

      It’s an inequality problem. If the rich are using luxury extension cords in a state of extreme inequality, then ofc the cords will be stolen. It’s just a smaller version of the problem with EVs overall. They’re not a sustainable solution for a planet but rather a way for auto manufacturers to stay rich off a tiny, extremely privileged minority.

        They are A PART of a sustainable solution for the planet.

        but rather a way for auto manufacturers to stay rich off a tiny, extremely privileged minority.

        What is your solution for low density populations living far from urban centers?
