“The electricity is one of our bigger issues that we’re dealing with in making sure that not only the public, but the firefighters are safe,” Chief McCurdy said. “So, we kept our distance from the charged electrical equipment.”

Police said seven charging stations sustained heavy damage. No one was hurt.

“Littleton Police and Fire Departments and the Massachusetts State Police Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit attached to the State Fire Marshal’s Office are investigating and have determined that the fire appears to have been intentionally set,” Littleton police said.

      Yeah, I thought it might be them, but was not sure. Also looks like some smaller volume EV makers (small EV volume, not small total volume of cars) like Nissan, Volvo, and Mercedes can now too. That still leaves out Kia/Hyundai which is the third highest volume EV maker (Tesla, Chevy, then Kia). Still, doesn’t negate the fact that Tesla is not longer the only kid on the block. We will also see a shift of J3400 non Tesla branded chargers soon, since it is now and SAE standard
