“The electricity is one of our bigger issues that we’re dealing with in making sure that not only the public, but the firefighters are safe,” Chief McCurdy said. “So, we kept our distance from the charged electrical equipment.”

Police said seven charging stations sustained heavy damage. No one was hurt.

“Littleton Police and Fire Departments and the Massachusetts State Police Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit attached to the State Fire Marshal’s Office are investigating and have determined that the fire appears to have been intentionally set,” Littleton police said.

    Electric cars are just greenwashing for the upper class to feel good about themselves while not doing a single fucking thing to curb their materialism. Electric cars saved the auto industry they’re not saving the earth.

      EVs are a stepping stone towards getting rid of fossil fuels, which is another stepping stone towards “saving the Earth”. Going back, puts us farther away from the goal.
