To follow up from this blog a few weeks ago discussing a fire at a Mooresville, North Carolina home, it has been determined the fire was not related to an electric vehicle charging station error. Garland Cloer, the chief deputy fire marshal in the county of the house fire said this about the fire, “It’s still under investigation… It’s probably going to be the first of the year [2012] before we have a report.” (1) Duke Energy stated “it appears neither the plug-in car nor its plugged-in charger was to blame.” (2) A Chevrolet Volt was charging in the garage of the home when the fire took place. Until the cause of the fire had been determined, General Motors was offering a free loaner car to anyone who has concerns about their Chevy Volt.
