Marshals have been brought in to police 'charge rage' between drivers of electric vehicles at motorway service stations.
The boss of Britain's largest motorway service provider said long waits for plug-in points made drivers 'very angry and stressed'.
Moto chief executive Ken McMeikan warned the UK's motorway service stations are facing growing 'public disorder' due to a lack of grid connections preventing him from installing enough car chargers to meet the surge in demand.
He said many motorists are facing long waits, with angry drivers confronting staff and each other and warned of the growing risk of 'charge rage' on Britain's motorways.
Drivers in the United States have already been involved in heated disputes as they compete over a shortage of electrical points - dubbed 'charge rage' by US media. The term refers to the frustration and anger experienced by electric car drivers when they are unable to find a charging point.
