Several Tesla Supercharger stations in Massachusetts were set on fire. Investigators believe the fires were started on purpose.
Early Monday morning, around 1:10 a.m., the Littleton Police Department got reports of fires at a Tesla Supercharger station in The Point Shopping Center.
Officers arrived and saw several charging stalls on fire, with thick black smoke. Police contacted the Littleton Electric Light & Water Department to cut power at the site. Before they could respond, another fire broke out at a different Supercharger location.
Firefighters put out the flames at seven charging stalls. No one was hurt. Tesla said it will replace all damaged posts and wires within 48 hours.
The Littleton Police Department, the local Fire Department, and the Massachusetts State Police Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit are handling the case. Investigators confirmed the fires were deliberately set.
The case is now part of the Arson Watch Reward Program. A reward of up to $5,000 is available for tips that help solve, prevent, or detect arson crimes.
Superchargers need to have security cameras.
