Since his report, more charging stations across the Houston area have been ransacked, leaving electric vehicle owners without a spark.On Wednesday, the cables from all charging stations at the Glenbrook Square shopping center were stolen. Every single connector in the lot had been slashed.Then last night, more charging stations were clipped in northwest Harris County. One was located at 10850 Louetta Rd.

Four stalls are working for now. Looks like they’re out of connectors for the rest. Another location was hit last night as well . That makes it four locations in the Houston metro.In the burglary on Louetta, a source tells KPRC 2 that a man, wearing a bIack hoodie and bIack pants, was seen cutting the charger cables at the station, before bolting across the street and getting into a bIack sedan.Nathaniel French has owned a Tesla for nearly six years.

He visited a station that had been hit when he needed a charge, before being shocked by the inconvenient revelation. “It’s unfortunate,” French said. “People don’t realize how much it affects you. It’s just kind of like going to get gas, and then you can’t get gas for your cars. It’s a struggle, and it’s frustrating to say the least.”Michael is a Kingwood native who loves shooting hoops, visiting local breweries and overreacting to Houston sports. He joined the KPRC family in the spring of 2024. He earned his B.A. from Texas A&M University in 2022 and his M.A.
