ChargePoint, one of the nation’s largest charging networks, has announced plans to reduce EV charger vandalism at every location. The plan has two main components. First, ChargePoint is introducing new cut-resistant cables that are designed to prevent cable theft, which it claims include “novel cut-resistant materials integrated into the cable.”

ChargePoint is tired of thieves cutting the cables at its EV charger stations, so it installed anti-theft cables and alarm systems to prevent vandalism

ChargePoint has developed a new cut-resistant charging cable to help deter theft. The company has also introduced a new alarm system that notifies station owners in real time. The developments are expected to help reduce repair costs,

New anti-theft and anti-vandalism tech could make it harder to steal copper-rich EV cables. Will it work? What’s stopping a thief with a pair of sturdy bolt cutters from snipping the hefty cable from your local charging station?

Looking to stop potential vandals before they act, the EV charging company introduced a new set of cut-resistant cables in conjunction with a new alarm system.
