Scrap copper is about £5 a kilo. Did his charging cables really weigh 12kg?

I think they are talking about the cable that comes out of the charging station. They use boltcutters and chop everyone of them. Its a nice earner if you have a full row of them at a carpark. I think in future they will change to the same idea as the air hose. Once you put in your debit card then it will allow you to pull it out. It costs a fortune to fix it when its been chopped.

Even better idea is to just have a socket. Punters can carry their own cable.

Just for info:
Some of the 'Big' chargers have liquid cooled cables to enable the conductors to be thinner and thus lighter. Having to carry your own cable capable of carrying 300Kw would be way too heavy for a fair few people.
The chargers that take a customers cable are normally only up to about 22Kw and are AC, the 'bigger' ones are DC chargers and, I believe are required to have their own tethered cables under the CSS spec.

This guy was saying the same and it was to do with build up of debris in the pump.

i bit the bullet and bought a pro foam from rutland as i had a few jobs in pipeline for using it.
what a fantastic bit of kit , put grey nozzle init with, my hypo with some sufrfactant , lauryl dimethaline oxide from local supplier and was bloody awesome, doused it out on and left 20 mins and the finish was unreal, so impressed tbf,
i tested it and left some of the black spots and lichen to see its effectivness, gobsmacked how a decent surfactant helps the hyo stick and disolve them
