Police say a Tesla car battery caught fire in a Cary home Saturday afternoon.
According to police, an individual removed one of the low-voltage batteries from the Tesla and brought it indoors to charge.
While charging, the battery experienced a short circuit.
Broadcast radio traffic reveals what exactly happened inside the house.
"It looks like it's the smaller of the two batteries from the car, in the kitchen charging it up, and then it exploded," Dispatcher said.
"A neighbor went inside to see if he could not extinguish the fire, so he is gonna have that smoke plus dry chem that he inhaled," Dispatcher said.
Car experts don't recommend charging your car's battery inside as a faulty battery could cause an explosion or fire.
