The Campbell, California-based charging network announced Thursday a two-pronged plan to deter EV charging equipment vandalism. The first step is adding new cut-resistant cables that ChargePoint hopes spreads industry-wide. The second is a new alarm system called ChargePoint Protect.

ChargePoint has had enough of vandalizing thieves who saw through EV charger cables to steal valuable copper — so now it’s making new “cut-resistant” cables and adding alarm systems in an attempt to mitigate the damage.

The U.S.-based charging giant's new cables are designed to prevent charging cable theft and vandalism—and even have alarms.

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.
