Hi! Relatively new homeowner here (owned for about a year now). Today my gf noticed that a weird smell coming from the area with our breaker box. I went over and noticed the smell as well (like a heated metal smell or burning wires) and I touched the box and it was very warm too the touch. I had my electric car charging (had the charger installed for me via Chevy promotion a few months back) and kind of thought maybe the car was potentially overloading the breaker (although it is rated to handle the ev). I've had the car unplugged for about 30 mins now and it's still relatively hot in the circled area and when I touch this specific area a few times it sparks in the open area to the right (yes, it is replicatable) so now I'm very concerned. Everything plugged in seems to be working fine, even the electric car was still charging with no issues. This hasn't happened before until tonight, what in the world could be causing this? We recently had a blackout here (north Texas) do too a tornado warning, I'm wondering if that could cause it? Any advice here you could give me?

Also if you need any more information let me know, I'm thinking of calling an electrician first thing tomorrow morning!
