In response to queries from The Straits Times, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the fire at 12 Cove Way at about 6.50pm.

Shin Min Daily News reported on Saturday that the fire was thought to have started from an electric car that was charging. A domestic helper who works in the area and declined to be named told the Chinese evening newspaper that she saw an electric car in the unit charging before it caught fire. The fire then spread to the Porsche sports car next to it.

A passer-by who gave her name as Ms Lee, 35, told Shin Min that she was walking around the neighbourhood when she heard an explosion and saw smoke and flames coming from the affected house. SCDF said the fire was extinguished with two water jets, adding that the fire involved the contents of a car porch on the first floor, outside the unit.
 
Until they can reduce the fire hazard to an acceptably low level, I'm not prepared to buy an EV just yet.
 
Nowadays I can see many carpark lots fixed with charging points. Pls don’t park your cars near to these charging points
 
PAP gov culture is build new stuff especially techs to wayang to the rich people in order to get votes, maintenance talk later.
