Several Tesla charging stations in Littleton likely intentionally set on fire, officials say

Tesla charging station torched in Littleton

LITTLETON, Mass. — Officials are investigating after a fire was seemingly intentionally set at several Tesla charging stations in Littleton on Monday.

Littleton firefighters arrived to the Tesla Supercharger on Consitution Avenue around 1:00 a.m. to find that seven Tesla car chargers were on fire.

Firefighters needed to wait for the Littleton Electric Light Department to disconnect the power supply prior to extinguishing the fire.

The Massachusetts State Fire Marshal’s office says an initial investigation determined the fire was likely intentionally set.

Nearby buildings were never at risk, Littleton Fire Chief Stelle McCurdy told Boston 25 News.

A Boston 25 News photographer found the torched and charred remnants of the charging stations surrounded by yellow caution tape Monday afternoon.

No arrests have been announced.

Anyone with information regarding the fire is asked to share it with the Arson Watch Reward Program Hotline at 1-800-682-9229.
