German electric vehicle charging operators are grappling with a rampant issue of cable theft, leading to the incapacitation of approximately 70 charging stations daily. The majority of these stations are situated in public areas, where the lack of overnight supervision provides thieves with a window of opportunity. Despite the fact that the copper in the stolen cables is valued at merely 40 euros, operators incur significant repair expenses and face a two-week downtime before operations can resume. In an attempt to address this challenge, operators have bolstered video surveillance and enhanced theft detection rates through software updates. However, effective preventive measures remain elusive.
