That is not really an EV thing, though.  On my recent trip out west, it
happened more frequently the farther west I went (i.e. more so than here in
Kentucky).  I don't drive an EV.  I think they do it to non-trucks or maybe
non-diesels.

Southern California is where I noticed it most.  Here, they only seem to do
it if you are driving or accelerating slower than they'd like.  There they
just seemed to do it regardless.

I have never heard it called "roll coal," though.

The part about chargers could be true and I wouldn't notice.  Honestly, I'd
not be shocked if some drivers don't realize what they are parking in front
of.
