Just get rid of the charging stations. It's ridiculous that EV owners should expect to charge their cars anywhere but at home or at work.

They must have a lot of copper. Thieves are going target them. What can you do in a land of criminals?

Fix the system so people don't have to make money by stealing copper.

And yet, here we are with billionaires in charge—robber barons v2.0.
