SUMNER SHOCKWAVE: EV Charging Station STRIPPED Bare, Thieves Run Wild [Video]

In a brazen act of vandalism and theft, Sumner’s newly inaugurated public EV charging station, funded by Puget Sound Energy (PSE), faced a significant setback when all its charging cables were stolen. This incident occurred just days after the facility, Pierce County’s first, was made public following a previous delay due to a similar theft. PSE, which had invested over $500,000 in the installation of these chargers, now faces another challenge as these crucial EV infrastructure components are out of service. The company is currently working on replacing the stolen cables, with the timeline for restoration still pending. This theft not only underscores the tangible costs associated with vandalism but also raises questions about the security and sustainability of green energy infrastructure amidst rising crime rates.
