This is amazing. Why is the cord wrapped through the wheel tho?
because the chevy volt uses a J1772 charge plug which, unlike the Type 2 used in Europe, doesn't have a lock in it.
this is a very annoying fact about the chevy volt.
They have a padlock on it
Because they think people keep stealing their charge cables because they need one; and not that they want to want to turn that sweet copper into cash.
a charge cable is like 500 bucks. it's definitely worth more whole.
For the most part, the people who strip copper wiring for a quick buck would not know or care that selling it intact would make a lot more. They want cash now, not next week.
For whatever reason this reminded me of folks that steal mufflers thinking they're catalytic converters.
fair point.
Gotcha even better lol.
