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 CEO Rick Wilmer spoke to Ars Technica and explained how he decided to take action after chargers at the company’s own Silicon Valley headquarters were repeatedly cut. Here is how he describes making the new cable:

The new cut-resistant cables incorporate advanced technology by weaving steel strategically through the wiring, making them far more difficult to cut.
