The last six cables from EV chargers in St. Albert were stolen recently.
The city had 26 EV chargers, though only six were operational as of Aug. 20 since another theft, of eight cables in June, had gone unaddressed.
The copper from a 25-foot cable is worth only about $7 so these are obviously NOT thefts since the risk/reward ratio does not work out at all. This is actual ecoterrorism is what it is, intended to slow down and potentially block EV adoption.
