Who wrote this article, Oil and Gas Inc?
No joke. This is a crime problem not a "EV bad, gas good" thing. I'm sure gas stations get ripped off / vandalized all the time, too.
"BREAKING: Staffed gas stations have been robbed at gun point, scaring drivers into buying EVs so they can charge alone safely instead"
Yeah and gas stations often have an employee and cameras around which probably makes theft occurrences less likely compared to a charging station that has no one around and likely no dedicated cameras in place.
It's an inequality problem. If the rich are using luxury extension cords in a state of extreme inequality, then ofc the cords will be stolen. It's just a smaller version of the problem with EVs overall. They're not a sustainable solution for a planet but rather a way for auto manufacturers to stay rich off a tiny, extremely privileged minority.
They are A PART of a sustainable solution for the planet.
