A disturbing trend across the nation is playing out here, in Philadelphia, as vandals and thieves target electric vehicle charging stations.

An undesired trend seen all around the country is now playing out in Philadelphia.A Roxborough charging station for electric vehicles was vandalized on Ridge Avenue. Plastic bags are covering the charging cables that were sliced off.Adam Nichols drives a Chevy Bolt and uses the station three to four times a week while working out across the street."I’m very shocked, it’s very disappointing," said Nichols. "This charging station gets a lot of use.

You would never think something like that is happening but it’s out in the open, easy for people to steal so, either they’re going to have to change up the design, or people are going to have to keep an eye out."Electrify America, which services the charging station, told FOX 29 in a statement:"Due to vandalism, the Electrify America chargers at 7162 Ridge Avenue in Philadelphia will remain unavailable. We are working with local law enforcement as to the source of the property damage.
