If intentional, the fire would fall in line with other recent instances of suspected arson against Tesla in recent days.
The authorities are investigating a Monday incident in which seven Tesla charging stations were consumed by fire near Boston, Massachusetts.
The Littleton Police Department said in a statement that the fire is suspected to have been intentional. No injuries were reported.
The police responded to reports of the fires at The Point Shopping Center in Littleton, Massachusetts, just after 1 a.m. Upon arrival, the officers found that six Tesla charging stations were “engulfed in flames and heavy, dark smoke,” according to the police statement.
The authorities then reached out to the Littleton Electric Light & Water Department, but a seventh charging station caught fire as they waited for the department to arrive.
The fire department then put out the fire after the Electric Light & Water Department cut power to the charging devices.
