Actually

https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/seattle-thieves-targeting-ev-charging-stations-has-reached-epidemic-proportions

Inductively coupled charging stations could bury the copper cables where 
they were harder to dig out, and it's not hard to embed a sense wire 
loop in the cable assembly that can generate an alarm as soon as the 
cable is cut.

This just a reflection of poor engineering design, but neither Cursitor 
Doom nor ZeroHedge have that kind of insight.
