EA Chargers Removed

EA Charging Station removed. Recently the charging station in Bellevue WA ON 148th Ave next to the Bank of America was vandalized by someone cutting off all the charging cables. So EA solution was to completely remove all the charge’s rather than replace the cables.

apparently EA is cutting their losses and will not repair vandalized units in places where law and order has broken down

Another case of the criminals winning and the victims losing.

I wonder if Tesla superchargers are also being attacked.

Yes they are unfortunately. Thugs aren’t picky about what they f*** up.

If I had to guess, I would say this is not the first or even second time this has happened at this location.

Is it weird that all 6 incidents of vandalism for California all happened in Northern California? However the one incident of cable theft ocurred in SoCal.

No, as it is probably the same vandals.

I read that these idiots get around $15 per stolen cable from a recycler. If they got caught, I'm sure the charges would be based on the repair and replacement cost, which I bet would run into the thousands. I guess that none of the thieves have a background in risk management.

Simple solution would be to energize the cable with just enough voltage when tampering is detected.

Good idea! I figure that running the little bastards up to around a 20% SOC should get their attention.

I’d love to see this.

Went by the B of A this afternoon and notice that 4 of the lastest EA chargers have been installed. Not in operation yet but should be soon.
