<p>On 11 April 2026 (around 3:00 PM), a physical fight broke out between two electric vehicle (EV) drivers at an EV charging station located at a PTT petrol station near the Chaiyapruek / Jomtien Beach intersection on Sukhumvit Road, in Bang Lamung district, Chonburi (Pattaya area). The dispute started because the two men could not agree on who arrived first and who had priority to use the charger. The argument quickly escalated into a physical brawl, with both men throwing punches. Bystanders eventually intervened and separated them. No serious injuries were reported. The incident was captured on video by a witness (a man named Thana, who was waiting for his own pre-booked charging slot) and has since gone viral on Thai social media and news platforms. Context</p> <p> </p> <p>This happened during a busy holiday period (around Songkran time), when demand for EV charging stations is much higher than usual. Thailand’s rapid growth in electric vehicles has led to increasing pressure on public charging infrastructure, especially in popular areas like Pattaya.</p> <p> </p> <p>Similar minor disputes over charging queues have been reported before, but this one turned physical and was filmed, drawing public attention and online debate about EV charging etiquette and infrastructure readiness.</p> <p> </p> <p>It’s a classic case of <em>“queue rage”</em> — something that can happen at petrol pumps too, but now increasingly seen at EV stations as adoption grows.</p>
