If copper thieves are stealing charging cables, the solution is dead simple...
Keep the cables on the car side, not the charger side. Provide an outlet on the charger, driver supplies their own cable.
This could work, but it would be extremely wasteful. Instead of one cable serving dozens of cars per day you'd have dozens of cables, one for each car, used only once that same day
If they were compatible with the charger they use at home, it wouldn't be nearly as wasteful as they'll need one there anyway
