Three electric cars burned in Oslo. The audience was asked to keep the windows closed due to smoke.

The emergency services were in Kolstadgata in Oslo on Monday night after reports of a fire in several cars.
– We have received feedback that it is burning in three cars, but we do not have a complete overview yet. There are electric cars among these. We are there with several patrols, and the fire service is in the process of extinguishing, said operations manager Magne Olsvoll to VG.
– There is a lot of smoke, not a healthy climate. So we encourage everyone nearby to pull in and close windows.
Do you have any suspicions that there are arson?
– It is too early to say anything about now. There are many on site, so we try to interview people who may have seen what happened.

At 01.45, the police announced that the fire had been extinguished. However, the fire brigade waits for the temperature of the cars before exiting.
There are three electric cars that stood by the charging station that burned.
At least one of them was connected to the charging station, but the police write that it is not possible to say anything about the cause of the fire.
Also yesterday night it burned in a car on Tøyen.
