I see that some other EV owners are having problems with theft of their equivalent to the Smart Fortwo ED charging cable with the expensive J1772 connector on the end! The connector and cable alone fetch over US$125 used; I see the replacement cost on these "trickle charger" EVSEs can be US$1000!
Does anyone have an idea how to secure this EVSE Charging cable while in use? When I go to work and charge there are no J1772 equipped EVSEs, only NEMA 5-20 outlets. The cable on the J1772 is too thick to close and lock in the cargo area. I guess I could use a PC lock adapter that come with epoxy and affix it to the case of the EVSE and loop a locking cable through it and the rear wheel.
Sigh, if it has value and you don't lock it down, it can vanish these days! Good reason to charge at a full EVSE podium instead of using your own charging equipment!
