Last year Electrify America, an electric vehicle advocacy group, applied to the Unicode Consortium to have their design for an EV charger added to the emoji lexicon:

The design was rejected, and no wonder; it’s terrible. At emoji scale the thing on the right simply reads as a gas pump, with the tiny yellow plug too small to read, and making no sense besides; those are dual household prongs, whereas current EV charging plugs have no exposed prongs. On top of that, what’s with the front view of a 1985 Crown Victoria, rather than a side profile of an iconic EV car shape?
This week EA is trying again, submitting a new design that’s charger-centric:
While it’s better than last year’s design, I still think they need some indication of a car in profile, preferably a Prius or Tesla. What do you think?
