You’ll need to use class “socket”, to get the “what’s plugged in” option.  
However, with “socket” only power is available, not energy.

You should “upgrade” to the almost unlimited [Advanced virtual device](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-device-capabilities-addendum-fully-customisable-advanced-virtual-device-with-unique-text-status-indicator/68198) (AVD).  
This is configurable to your likings:

Set class to Wall plug (= socket):

Add two number fields, one for Power (W) and one for Energy (kWh) measurements:

The “Plugged in” option is available, and you can select “EV charger”:

Extra points: no need for flows to “feed” it!  
Just pick the original or master device and capability, and the AVD ‘mirrors’ it right away:  
I used device “wasmachine” as original/master:
