Seems kind of inefficient. One will need a human to close the doors every night and lock them. These Things already have auto stuff. You’d think that would be part of it. The chargers should have been hardened in the first place, with the card reader outside the steel box. Make it have 2FA from a cell phone to open it, have an auto closure mechanism, a camera, and aluminum conductors. No reason to break in, a pita to do it, and stealing someone’s wallet or phone isn’t enough to get it to open. You’d have to steal their wallet AND phone, then be able to get by the Face ID on the phone. Too much trouble for some aluminum wire. Though making wire harder to sell does help. Another one would be auto winders on the cable so the cable is INSIDE THE MACHINE when not in use. Still doesn’t help people who want to leave their car attached to a public charger overnight, but that sort of thing would need a locking garage anyway which has other problems. 600k instead of 245k and do it right.
One would spend that eventually anyway. Got to pay someone to lock and unlock the chargers.
