@abc7la: Thieves are targeting #electricvehicle charging stations for #copperwire -- cutting cords and even breaking into chargers using hacksaws. It's a costly fix to repair the vandalized stations. Now, there are new efforts underway to prevent copper wire #theft.

Brydude87 :

All that for 5 bucks 😭🙏

Calvin :

risking 600V for a couple bucks is crazy..

jojogoodmojo :

Ppl risking they lives for $5 is a recession indicator

FeedRocko :

How about vastly harsher penalties for thieves? I know it’s a novel concept for California.

CalmStorm888 :

the question is, why are we still using cords.

spacej4mh4ppy1 :

Damn Los Angeles can’t have anything nice.

Capybaralover :

Or just have recycle centers not take copper wire or need proof of where it came from and they stop stealing it

Yayo :

Newsome’s California 💀

Bruh v.2 :

FO :

Andy Vela :

hiphopanonymous :

copper is only $4/pound. thats probably less than a pound and cost 1000s in damage

DJ Seph Entertainment :

We can’t have nice things with Democrats around.

umabronco :

And why are we fighting to not hold them accountable?

Cory Koster :

And if they got caught it’s a slap on the wrist

MR. MT :

It’s getting worst in LA , my restaurant got broken into and THEY stole all the copper electrical wire and plumbing too !

Carlos 🇲🇽 :

They really said wireless charging. 😂 That’s so inefficient compared to plug-in charging.

thegrinchrules :

the neighborhood also hates them because LA struggles with parking and these take away lots of good spots

Johnny✈️ :

Theory: Electric car companies found a secret oil reserve that’s the biggest in the world and are now sabotaging themselves in order to go back to oil and make record profits

Savemoney2023 :

Just remove the GFCI protection from the charger circuit, very simple problem and solution.
