However, a relatively new issue has emerged: EV charging rage, which occurs when an electric vehicle (EV) owner cuts in line to access one of the limited available charging ports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This problem has become sufficiently common that instances of altercations between EV drivers have been shared on social media platforms and <a href=\"https:\/\/teslamotorsclub.com\/tmc\/threads\/fist-fight-over-spot-at-supercharger.257067\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">online forums<\/a>.
