Watch: Tesla owner takes matters into his own hands after Toyota blocks charger

With the rise in popularity of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid cars around the world, petrol-powered cars taking up valuable charging spots is becoming a real issue.

This blocking of chargers (or getting ICE'd) can lead to a fair bit of frustration when EV owners are in need of some charge, but can't access it due to someone else's ignorance.

One Tesla owner in America has captured this plight of an EV owner on his car's on board camera perfectly, but it is quite painful to watch.

After discovering that a Toyota 4Runner had taken the last Tesla Supercharger available, the understandably frustrated driver decided to pull into the next park painfully close to the SUV.

After a few minutes go by, the owners of the 4Runner return to their vehicle to discover their predicament, and the Tesla owner waiting. Surprisingly, the stone-faced EV driver doesn't bat an eyelid while the owners abuse him for his parking.

We're not too sure if it was the passenger's convincing, or whether the Tesla driver mentioned that the car's cameras were recording, but luckily the driver decided against escalating the tense situation.

While the Tesla driver was justified in his actions here, it is easy to understand his frustration with the situation, and it's lucky that no one got hurt over a car park.
