Gas stations hire guards: "Must stop fights between people with electric cars"

There is such a lack of charging stands and charging points, and this causes people with electric cars to fight each other. Guards must now prevent that.

A number of English gas stations are now forced to hire guards because of angry electric car owners. People with electric cars are fighting over the public charging points, which in England are far too few compared to the number of electric cars. These fights must be taken quite literally, and therefore guards are now being deployed to keep peace and order. This is written by The Daily Telegraph . READ ALSO: Several new EU bans also affect Danes with driver's license It is the company Moto, which owns the vast majority of England's service stations along the motorway network, that now hires the guards. However, according to Moto's managing director Ken McKeikan, the problem of angry people in electric cars is not so easily solved. In any case, it is not enough to simply set up more charging points. Ken McKeikan also wants the UK government to share responsibility for the infrastructure. For his part, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has just delayed an otherwise planned ban on all new cars with internal combustion engines. Read more about it here.
