Tesla at shooting scene: why it could not flee, the deadly weakness of EV charging
A shooting near a Tesla Supercharger in Twin Falls, Idaho has reignited safety concerns that electric vehicles can be unable to move immediately while charging because connectors are physically locked.

The debate has shifted to built-in emergency release functions and broader standardisation across EV makers and charging operators.
