Warning...incoming rant.
I've had the great experience of going to Ikea with my wife, not once but twice in the past week. Both times I have witnessed EV's parked at the chargers but not plugged in. This has become a common occurrence lately. It used to be just the ice cars doing it, that's why we call it being iced. I'm not sure what the name is when it's an EV, maybe plug-blocked. I don't know.

I never park at a gas pump when I go to a convenience store. Hmmmm, maybe we should. just kidding. or not.

I hope I never see a Mach-E doing the plug-blocking move.

The Level-2 chargers at our Ikea are really expensive for some reason (there are free Level-2's not far down the road from these), perhaps they were preventing other EV drivers from wasting their $$$?

It sucks no matter who blocks the charger. But to be completely honest, in a backhanded way I'm kinda glad to hear reports of EVs blocking the spots too, because maybe it'll kill that unfair "ICEd" term.

A jerk can be a jerk no matter what they drive.
