  1. Because the damage also includes labor and overhead, not just Material.
  2. We’re not talking about Tesla specifically.
  3. Even if the stolen cable was left undamaged, who are you gonna sell it to? The company that owns the charging station?

      An electrician isn’t gonna charge a tenner for his time. He’s not your nephew who mows your lawn after school.

        So you’re saying they’re designed with more than a LOTO point and some bolted lugs?

        I mean the other guy is being a dweeb, but his core point seems fair. If it’s a big standard cable manufactured in bulk for a charger, shouldn’t it have less overhead.

  1: Labor & Equipment.

  2: Tesla owners don’t necessarily own the Charging stations.

  3: They are icing wire cutters to remove the cables, destroying the cable in the process.

    1: Sure it does.

    2: Fair

    3: That makes sense. I wonder if the solution might be for the stations to just have ports car owners to provide the cables?

  You know there’s more to it than just raw copper, right?

  The cable itself, insulation, active cooling, labor, complicated build process, specialized installation, etc.

  Don’t be daft.
