Was driving in city at about 30 mph, car stopped having propulsion, stopped with a shudder and warnings lights pop up. "check ev system" was able to reset the computer by powering off/on for 3 cycles to make it over to the curb. Called tow to Transport to the dealer. Send me away after resetting the error message in the computer. Week later it happened again backing out of a parking spot. Now Toyota is blaming my add ons like charge indicator (showing volts/amps of the J1772 input) and the fact I fitted a trailer hitch (for a bike rack). Which has absolutely nothing to do with the electrical propulsion system.

While charging the car at a schneider public charging station, extreme heat and electrical arcing resulted in heat/burning damage to the vehicle and damage to the charging station. Prior to the incident, while charging at the same public schneider charging station, on many occasions, I noticed an electrical burning smell and heat.
