Three people accused of using Molotov cocktails to set fire to Tesla vehicles and charging stations are now facing charges — and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed they’ll face the “full force of the law” for the arson attacks.

A fire occurred at a Tesla charging station located in the parking lot of the Scheels store in Fargo, North Dakota, on March 21, 2025, around 3:15am. The incident is being looked into as a possible case of arson by the police in the area.
