According to news reports, a Model S caught fire at a Supercharger station in Norway this afternoon. State news agency NRK reports [ http://www.nrk.no/sorlandet/tesla-tok-fyr-under-hurtiglading-1.12729078 ] (via Google translate) that no one was injured in the blaze. The owner of the car set it to charge and then left, and then at some point it began to burn, NRK reported. Users on Reddit’s r/teslamotors claim the Supercharger station was a “temporary” one. More photos of the blaze can be seen at the newspaper Fædrelandsvennen [ http://www.fvn.no/lokalt/aust_agder/Tesla-tok-fyr-og-brant-helt-ut-2945743.html ].

Few other details about the blaze were immediately available, but Tesla will likely investigate the fire along with local authorities, as the automaker has done before. The Model S has been involved in a handful of documented fires in the past few years, as a result of both crashes and charging (although Tesla has disagreed on the latter cause.) We reached out to Tesla for comment and will update if we hear back. More on this as we get it. Update: A Tesla spokesperson said this: Nobody was harmed. We are undergoing a full investigation and will share our findings as soon as possible.

We were tipped off by several Tesla owners within the area after local fire department and police have quarantined the immediate area surrounding the Supercharger station. The fire is described by vg.no to have started while the owner of the Model S left the car while charging at the Supercharger stall. Shortly after the car ignited into flames before burning down to the ground as seen in the photos released by Tv2.no. Firefighters took longer than normal to extinguish the fire, because unlike a traditional fire where water is used as the extinguishing agent, fires in electric vehicles need to be extinguished using a different methodology. No one was in the vehicle at the time and no injuries were reported as a result of the fires. According to local media TV2.no, the cause of the fires is unknown at the moment though police are currently interrogating several witnesses who were present near the site. Tesla is currently working with local Police on investigating the cause of the fire.

A few minutes later, his car burst into flames and was destroyed. The duty officer at the campus police office of Jon Kvitnes College told Norway’s VG News, “We received notification at 2.29 pm that a car was on fire near a cafe on Brokelandsheia. We came out with the fire brigade and police, but it turned out that this car was burned out when the emergency services arrived at the scene.” Fortunately, there was no one in the car at the time and there were no injuries ...
