1. Design a cable with proper warning labels and signage. Should be all that is needed as a deterrent.
2. Randomly make the cables with different codes so maintenance/installer will only know how to activate or deactivate in service. Then design the cable if cut will repeatedly deliver 100 Joules of stored energy. Will stop any animal but not kill them.
3. Assure proper grounding and Post a clear graphic indicating risk if cut.
4. Simple picture of electrical shock.

Make the new chargers with a retractable cord that locks and unlocks when you put your credit card in.

Lefty loonytoons who can't handle free speech. They don't have an intelligent argument so they just want reality to be silenced. This way I hey don't seem to be as dumb as they really are.

Perhaps it's because poor people don't like Elon Musk?  Everything Musk has done is for well heeled and rich yuppies (cybertruck to protect rich in apocalypse, mars colonies for millionaires etc).  So understandable that underclass doesn't feel much warmth toward Musk and his companies.

Bet the $5.00 + per gallon of diesel is starting to p*** off the A-Hole coal rollers now and they have to resort to other stupid tactics besides blocking the chargers or showing how to pollute the environment even more by blowing tons of crap in the air. If unemployment is an issue, get a job. Plenty of places are hiring. If drugs are the issue, get some help, if not, move to Florida, Texas or SoCal. If scrap buyers are arrested for buying things they know are stolen (catalytic converters anyone?) They should have their shops shut down for evidence. Nuff said.

The cables are getting cut because they only charge Tesla.

You should realize that, when Tesla made its standard there were NONE others that could do what was needed, right? Multiple different, clumsy standards (CHAdeMO anyone?) that topped at least than half of the power of the very first chargers. Did you forget that Tesla offered both its standards and network to the rest? In this case it is the others not wanting to join, Tesla isn't the problem at all. In Europe Tesla could and did switch as that was later.

Looks to me like this charging station needs better security. How much trouble can it be to put an effective camera system on a vulnerable charging station? Might be time to stop skimping on security unless this property owner just REALLY likes paying for replacement copper cables.

It is for the copper. People don't vandalize out of principle. Oakland?  You know it for the copper.   Anything of value not bolted is stolen. And even then. Obviously.

The cables are getting cut because they only charge Tesla.  Every other electric charger charges all electric cars with an adapter.  Electric car owners hate when the only available charger charges only Tesla if they own something else.  On I95 in Connecticut at the service stations on the highway you can not charge anything but a Tesla.  Does not work with my Nissan Leaf.

Guys, of course the cables have power. The cables to the charger are always energized. The charger output is only controlled by the charger.

A better idea is having the cable in the case of the unit until the account is authorized then it will be spun out.

Makes no sense, they should love electric car drivers. Less demand on gasoline supply lines, in turn lower demand keeps the price down or at least lower. Imagine if all the fully electric vehicles were gas....
