## Narrative
The car was parked and turned off,  I came out to the car and found the electrical charging cord had caught on fire at the base of the handle that inserts into the car.  The area melted/disintegrated. It was covered in soot.  The charger had been plugged into the car for about 1 hour.  Fortunately my car or home did not catch on fire. This charger was a replacement from the recall in 2018.
