My VW ID 4 caught fire at Electrify America charging station in Ojai last weekend (November 5, 2023) Immediately after charging began there was a large ball of flame and then tail of flame and smoke. The charger stopped the charge and I waited a while before trying to disconnect. EA charger was welded to my charger port and would not release. We called EA and opened a case and asked for help. We walked home and spent the next few hours requesting technical response. It took five hours for EA technician to arrive and disconnect vehicle. We had car towed to dealer. Charger port is visibly fried and we are not sure what the extent of internal damage to vehicle is. VW is going back and forth with EA and we do not have any updates. Dealer says they have no previous experience with this type of accident and are not sure what extent of damage could be. Has anyone had similar experience? There is not a lot of info out there on this.
So if someone lights a match in the vicinity of your wife and dog you’ll call it an explosion, huh? 🙄
Even assuming your post is based upon a true story, your use of massively overblown hyperbole ruins your credibility. Took you two weeks to even go and get your stuff from the car? Doubtful. Neither you nor EA called the fire department after the “eXpLoSiOn!!!1!!!”? Not a chance. Initially posted it took EA 4 hours to get a tech, now it’s 5 hours? Ah yes, and how big was that fish you caught? Oh yeah, and let’s not forget that you literally created an account just to share this highly suspect and at best hugely exaggerated story.
Oh, and no pictures. Dog eat your smartphone?
