charging

Plugging in device

Charging is the act of supplying power to a battery or device: My phone is charging.

It also means rushing forward aggressively, as in battle or sports: The bull came charging at us.

To charge someone is to formally accuse them of a crime, or to demand payment: They're charging fifty dollars for parking.

Charging can describe an intense, energetic quality: a charging guitar riff.
