Seven Tesla charging stations were intentionally set on fire on Monday at a shopping center outside Boston, the police said, the latest in a series of attacks against the electric vehicle company since its owner, Elon Musk, built a deep partnership with President Trump. The charging stations were set on fire around 1:10 a.m. at a shopping center in Littleton, Mass., about 30 miles outside of Boston, according to a news release from the Littleton Police Department. The police said they told the Littleton Electric Light & Water Department to shut down the power to the charging stations as “heavy, dark smoke” engulfed several of them. Before the electric company could respond, another charging station caught fire. There were 12 charging stations at the site, according to a Tesla map. Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday.
