This Tesla Model S Burnt To The Ground While Charging

This empty shell is all that remains of a 2014 Tesla Model S after it burnt to the ground while being charged in Norway. The cause of the fire is currently unknown, but is being investigated.

The incident happened when the owner of the Model S plugged it in and left it for charging. On returning a short time later, the car was engulfed in flames. Firefighters had to use a special foam to combat the flames and to make the lithium batteries safe.

Luckily, nobody was injured.

I started back in the 1970s working with GE on developing the EV & EV 1 systems, over the years I’ve seen a lot of electric vehicles of many different kinds and they all have there flaws
95% of the problem is the Batteries.

So I’m the only one that’s hoping for my aunt’s Prius to catch on fire while charging?

The firefighters didnt fight the fire, they made a safe wall around it with the foam and let it burn to the ground
