    > anti-social types and general malaise In Germany we had cases of either anti-tesla-ism, anti-environmentalism, anti-muslimism, or satire, or possibly all of it at once, were people were disabling chargers by putting ground pork into the charging ports.

      For real? Is like one guy doing it or a movement?

        It's difficult to get a good number on the events. The thing is, ground meat in Germany is called "hack". So on another level (that's why it could very well be satire), the charging stations have been "hacked". Google does not distuingish between both kinds. But vandalism in general is a big problem.
