The charging station was attacked more than a week ago and has been cordoned off by Bunbury City Council. It was part of a network of charging stations installed by the RAC in a bid to encourage electric cars to travel to the South West. "The RAC electric vehicle charging station was damaged on the night of March 5-6," acting director of community and customer services John Kowal said. "Damage is to the unit's front panel and internal electric wiring. "The facility has been cordoned off to ensure public safety. "Repairs will be carried out by the company that installed the charger as soon as possible. The cost of repairs will be covered by the city's insurance." The station was installed in the Symmons Street carpark next to the Graham Bricknell Memorial Music Shell in June last year. "As it becomes more and more common knowledge I think more and more people will start to use it," chief executive officer Andrew Brien said soon after it was installed. "Our idea of putting them in the CBD was to have them (drivers) have a long charge, go and have a cup of coffee and then come back and drive off." Electric charging stations are located in Perth and across the South West including Busselton, Margaret River and Mandurah.
