This Latest EV CRIME WAVE will END THE FUTURE of ELECTRIC CARS! ACTUAL VIDEO EVIDENCE

This latest EV Crime Wave signals the end for Electric Cars. A New craze that's taking the EV charging infrastructure network by storm. It's been kept quiet up until now as the Electric Car manufacturers don't want you to know about this. I have actual video evidence of a crime that was committed at an EV charging station in the UK. The footage will shock you!

Theft of copper cables has always been a "profession" for a section of society who prefer to travel around.
There will be a lot of high quality copper in those cables to take the current.
£50 per cable, 20 cables a night equals £1000 per night. £5000 per week, approx £200K per year. That is why they are doing it.

I am a retired copper and we had a permanent site for traveller community (a bit of an oxymoron) they only built it next to the euro star/tunnel special metals depot I.e minerals for train brakes etc. they were confused as to how it was happening. We pointed out that it was probably the neighbour and the local authority laid into us about stereotypes anyway I am sure you won’t be surprised to hear that they indeed were involved.

It’s not a craze as such, it’s thieves that the police and law can’t or won’t do anything about.

When EV's were first introduced, this was one of my very first questions. No one could believe I asked the question, well there you have it😒

Battery cars are only the immediate future. The government will wait for the optimum moment then they will absolutely screw battery car owners over via toll charges, limited recharging infrastructure and/or taxes. Keep your 60/70, 000 pounds plus in your pockets and enjoy internal combustion vehicles while you can.

I was at a hotel in Oregon last year, everyone was parked in the ev charging station because the city made it mandatory to have them and stole all of their parking, there were at least 30 charging stalls so the city stole 30 spaces from their parking lot, the manager told us to park there because we couldn't find a spot. He said they were rarely used so once again, government screws up everything.

I'm an electrician & fit EV charge points. I warn all customers about potential charge lead theft if they are considering a tethered unit. This isn't a "craze" it's been going on for donkeys years in various forms. The "travelling community" love a bit of wire (other brands of theives are available)

[Cmoredebris]

I'm not worried about the cables, I'm concerned with personal safety while waiting hours for a charge. Charging stations will be rich targets for criminals.

[iixorb]

Unbelievable! One of the things I'm a bit concerned about (having charged in some very isolated places at 2 a.m.!) is the inability to 'escape' if a gang of thugs descends on the car, while I'm in it! For obvious reasons, I can't drive off whilst still plugged in. The only way would be to get out and remove the charging plug. At least in a petrol / diesel car, you can start it up and attempt to escape.

Fun fact, fast chargers lower the effective life of your batteries, I'm a trained Technician (Former Tesla) And can tell you they are bad to use.

[Stinkymole]

There's a fair amount of copper in those leads Lee, as the charger delivers a lot of current to the vehicle. The higher the current (measured in amps), the fatter the cable (copper) needs to be to allow that current to flow safely to prevent overheating of the cable.

[williamholden]

Copper being nicked by villains makes a change from villains being nicked by a Copper!😂

[sicr]

We all know what 'community ' is involved in this, but as usual they'll get away with it.
Keep paying your taxes everyone!

I used to be a plumber, and the company I used to work for mainly did new construction in Los Angeles, California. On more than one occasion we'd had people come into the homes being built and steal the copper water lines we'd installed, and these scumbags didn't care if they had to cause tens of thousands of dollars damage to get at little bit of copper that all they were going to get was the price of scrap. Not only is it the scumbags who steal the copper that piss me off, but it's the scrap industry as well because they know damn well when they see those bent up pipes that those people stole that pipe because it's all shiny and new looking copper, and who would be throwing out the amounts of pipe these thieves are bringing in to sell?

Thanks for the vid, and well done on dragging it out for as long as you could.
I'm from SA and normal grid power cables get swipped over here leaving areas in the dark most times. At the moment the market is trying their best to get government to reduce the high tax on EV imports so that our market can start selling EVs, but it sounds like they are in for a surprise when the cables disappear faster than they can be rolled out.
Quite the ball-ache

Sorry to hear you’ve got thieves in England just as we have in the states. During the recent hurricane in Florida a problem with electric cars has surfaced. Apparently salt water blown by the hurricane got into the batteries of some electric cars and caused it to catch on fire. Fire department arrived and attempted to put out the fire. Used thousands of gallons of water, batteries just kept on reigniting. Burned the house to the ground. Even caught on fire again as it was being towed away on a flatbed. Can’t imagine what homeowners insurance will cost once insurers catch wind of the fact there’s an electric car on the property.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I would think there is a considerable weight of copper in a fast charge cable in order to be able to manage the high amperage that would be drawn. I think I'm also right in saying copper is worth good money now so I'm not surprised by this.

[penedrador]

This whole EV craze will absolutely blow up in our faces and I can't wait for the problems we will have caused then, with no other immediate options.

[fraserhardmetal]

The travelers site is a few hundred yards up the hill from Porsche - not implying anything, but we had cars done on masse, on a regular basis while we were based in that area. CCTV proof of perpetrators but no official follow-up ...

[rmpdrp]

I can't belive no one saw this coming with all of the copper thefts that have been going on since time began.
It was only a matter of time before this started. I talked about this happening when electric cars started to become more and more popular
