Dozens of cables have been stolen from electric vehicle (EV) chargers around Seattle, taking them out of service for drivers looking for a charge.
Seattle has become a hot spot for the theft of electric vehicle charging cords, which are rich in copper.Charging provider Electrify America reported that a single station in Georgetown had more than 50 cables stolen over the past couple years.In that same amount of time, a different station in University Village criminals nabbed more than 20."Unfortunately, the theft of charging cables is on the rise," said Rachel Moses with Electrifying America.
"We’re working very closely with local law enforcement to cut down on this pattern that we’ve seen," Moses added. "But I can’t speculate on what exactly is driving that."The state Department of Ecology reports a record year for EV ownership, with nearly 170,000 EVs registered in 2023, a 43 percent increase from the previous year. The demand for charging stations is growing.
