How did the Togg T10X fire in Sarıyer occur?
The incident occurred in the open parking lot of Sarıyer Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital. According to reports, the parked vehicle was connected to a Trugo DC fast charging station. Smoke began rising from the vehicle for an as yet unknown reason.

Firefighters were dispatched to the scene after being alerted by bystanders. Crews arrived quickly and extinguished the flames. This brought the fire under control before it could spread further. Furthermore, the greatest consolation is that no injuries or fatalities were reported.

The vehicle sustained material damage, but the exact cause of the fire remains unclear. However, initial images from the scene suggest that the flames may not have been caused by the battery, as the fire appears to have been concentrated in various locations rather than the floor where the battery is located. Authorities are continuing their investigation to determine whether the fire originated from the vehicle or the charging station.
