Industry jargon

ICE blocked

Also called: ICE'd, ICE blocked ICE blocked describes an EV charging bay that cannot be used because a vehicle with an internal combustion engine is occupying the charging space. It is a practical access failure even when the charger itself is working. Operators may manage the problem through bay design, signage, parking controls or enforcement. Hardware uptime does not necessarily capture bay obstruction, which is why physical site access also matters to the charging experience.
