A Tesla spokesman wrote in an email that there had been an accident involving an electrical contractor. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has not yet determined the man's cause of death. Authorities said the man's identity will not be released until his family is notified.
The station, in the shopping center parking lot, was expected to open Wednesday. Tesla spokesman Will Nicholas says the opening has been postponed.
Tesla is building a network of recharging stations nationwide. Tesla owners can use the stations at no cost.
