Some really scummy people out there and it's costing a lot of money.

"Chief executive of InstaVolt Delvin Lane said the thefts had cost his company about £410,000 since November 2023"

Easily cut that crime by 90% by having retractable cable and a charging nozzle that is locked until you pay by card to unlock it surely?!
Then it is only attempted theft of cable for anyone daft enough to saw through it when a car is actively charging. they would learn the hard way.
