The Tesla burned out while it was set to charge

The firefighters on the scene managed to smother the fire, because the flames spread to the battery pack and started a much bigger fire.

A Tesla Model 3 has burned out while it was set to charge outside a supermarket in Greece.

Fortunately, firefighters were on the scene so quickly that the flames did not manage to spread to the battery pack and thus an even bigger fire.

Carscoops writes that.

According to the media, which claims to have spoken with the local fire authorities, the cause of the fire has not yet been determined.

Instead, the media speculates whether the flames may be rooted in a faulty charging cable or perhaps a faulty charging stand. And judging from the pictures, there may be something to it.

The flames seem to have caught only the rear of the relatively new Tesla. But there is little information about the fire itself.

Although repeated surveys point out that electric cars are less likely to break down than, for example, diesel and petrol cars, the problem is in fact quite different.

Namely that it is difficult to get rid of the flames once the fire has taken hold of the electric car. Recently, the fire department in California, for example, had to use as much as 190,000 liters of water to extinguish a burning Tesla truck.

And from Sweden it is said that an electric car, which was otherwise completely destroyed in an arson attack, started to flare up again a week after the vandalism.

A number of fires in electric cars have also caused the debate about electric cars to flare up again. In South Korea, for example, it has been forbidden to charge more than 80 percent of the current on the battery at public charging stations.

And it is proposed to completely ban electric cars in parking garages. At the same time, Greece has banned motorists from boarding ferries in electric cars with more than 40 percent current on the battery in an electric car.

However, flames, perhaps defective charging stations and the question of parking are not the only problems for electric cars at the moment. At home, electric car owners in several municipalities are finding that they cannot charge at all in several places. Thieves or vandals have simply started to cut the charging cables at the public charging stations.
