Homeless Los Angeles residents have taken over electric vehicle charging stations throughout the city, setting up encampments with all the comforts of home, such as televisions, barbecues, and furniture.
Videos uploaded Thursday on Twitter by @alexdatig gave a tour of various streets where charging stations overrun with homeless have no electric vehicle in sight.

Would you be comfortable charging your $60,000 EV here?” tweeted Alexandra Datig, who produces commentary for various news outlets.“Taking a closer look at the graffiti, I wonder what gang affiliation you need to have to be able to charge your $60,000 EV here?” she tweeted.
— Alexandra Datig | Front Page Index 🇺🇸 December 29, 2022 It doesn’t appear that any of the homeless have found a way to hack into the charging stations but rather use them as guideposts to claim their turf. But the problem dates back to the 1930s, when Skid Row was founded, and city leaders have found no solution since. The population continues to grow, with a 20,000 increase over the past five years.
