Cable thieves hit two EV charging sites in Bradford area

By Eve

Charging cables were stolen from Hartshead Moor services on the M62 and the Asda car park on Cemetery Road in the Bradford area, according to local reports. The incidents are described as part of a growing trend of cable thefts across the region.

Why it matters: Recurring cable theft raises operational costs for charge point operators and can force site closures or redesigns, while undermining driver confidence in public infrastructure reliability.
