T10X, one of Turkey's best-selling electric car models, attracts attention because it rarely comes up with such technical problems. While investigations were continuing at the scene, the charging station operator shared technical details, stating that the charging process of the vehicle had stopped hours ago.
Charging Company Made a Statement on the Subject
In the first investigations after the fire, it was determined that no energy transfer occurred even though the vehicle's charging cable was plugged into the station. Charging company officials emphasized that the system data was examined and the charging process was completed much earlier.
This statement aims to eliminate suspicions that the fire may have been caused by the charging infrastructure. In the official announcement, it is clearly stated that there was no active flow between the vehicle and the station at the time of the fire.
Security Records Taken Under Review
Security camera footage of the moment of the incident caused wide repercussions on social media and news channels.

Authorities state that such situations are rare, but all data is examined transparently in order to maintain security standards.
Although battery management systems (BMS) in modern electric vehicles such as the Togg T10X have quite advanced protection protocols, such individual cases once again demonstrate the importance of technical analysis.
Technical Analysis Process Continues
The forensic and technical investigation process is being carried out meticulously to determine the exact cause of the fire. The possibility of a possible short circuit in the battery cells or a post-production error will be evaluated by experts.
The official statement to be made by Togg is of great importance in terms of answering users' questions about electric vehicle safety. The unfortunate accident experienced by this vehicle, which is an important part of Turkey's domestic automobile vision, caused safety measures in the electric vehicle sector to come to the agenda again.
