Tesla supercharger ruled out as cause of N.J. fire
Automotive News, 11/19/2019
A fire at a Wawa convenience store in New Jersey on Sunday afternoon was not caused by a Tesla supercharger; it arose from a nearby transformer, a local fire official said Tuesday.
“No vehicles were involved; it wasn’t the charging stations at all,” Palmeiri said. “It was a separate on-site transformer that sends power from JCP&L to the charging stations … Nothing to do really with the charging stations.”
Yes, this was a BIG story for a day or so. Never mind that fact that 13 gas stations catch on fire every day.
