A Tesla Supercharger station in Vallejo, California’s Bay Area, was recently vandalized, with every charging cable cut by copper thieves. The incident left the entire site inoperative. This event is part of a broader trend where thieves target high-powered Tesla and other EV charging stations, including those in San Francisco, to steal the heavy cables for the valuable copper inside. Similar incidents have been reported in other locations, including Houston, where 18 out of 19 charging wires were stolen last week. Nine nozzles were cut and stolen at the Vallejo station. The vandalism has raised concerns about the security of EV charging infrastructure.
