This is already a thing in terms of Tesla superchargers being sawed off to be sold for scrap. Copper is pretty valuable.

I wonder if this is part of the reason the new superchargers have liquid cooled cables. Less copper. Also, supercharger cables are way shorter than any other charger.
I guess they can do that because all the cars have the charge port in the same spot.
