EV Charger Fire - Not Rivian Related

[Fmc]

I ran across this story. Hard to tell what EV this is/was. I will be curious to see if they follow-up on the charger.

I wish I could see the rim. That might help identify the car

Firefighter forensics are pretty good. Hopefully we will have an update.

That’s a 20” F150 Lightning wheel.

My neighbor has a lightning with an 80a charger. I was surprised Ford was offering these for home usage. On a 200a service the charger is taking up half of the service. Curious if the charger was installed correctly

Not Rivian related, but you post it on a RIVIAN FORUM nonetheless. Got it.

May '24, it was a Ford Charge Station Pro. But that purple Charger is definitely a goner too

Well, scary when these things happen, especially to EVs. But if you google vehicle fire, its all ICE fires that show up.

I hate this for all..bad for EVs, bad for electricians, bad for insurance premiums.

Good detective work

Are they sure it was the electric vehicle charger, not the Dodge Charger that was at fault?

 

[HaveBlue]

Maybe it's one of these
