ICEing vs sock blocking

[richkae]

We call when a charging spot is blocked by a gas car ICEing.
We don't have a good term for an EV blocking the spot and not using the charge point.
We don't have a good term for an EV underutilizing the charge point.

I propose that we call all of these: "socket blocking" or "sock blocking" for short. I was "sock blocked" the other day.


Vote. Thumbs up if you don't want to use the term but appreciate childish humor from someone old enough to know better.

personally, I like

EVicted - when another EV somehow forcibly kicks you out of your spot.
rEVolted - when a Volt is blocking the charger.

I like some of the others I've mentioned, but not sure which ones are best for EV blocking and not using and EV underutilizing.

No disrespect to the VOLT, I like the car and the concept. But if I owned one, I dont think I would even bother to charge it on the road. Once you go past the 30-40 miles just let the generator do the job. May even be cheaper than Charge Point.

It is cheaper, unless the ChargePoint is free.
