Level 2 Charger Won't Disconnect

[broteus7]

I noticed this yesterday morning and I have tested it out to reproduce the issue. My home Grizzl E charger won't disconnect. In the past, I was able to just use the release button on the handle and unplug immediately from the lightning but as of yesterday, it wouldn't release. I used the button on the lightning to stop charging and the blue light would go away only for it to return. After a few attempts, I get lucky and am able to get the charger released but it's random and I don't know what triggers the release. Has anyone had this issue before?

The release is mechanical and I don't believe the Lightning has any locking capability. Is the handle of your charger damaged or dirty preventing you from releasing it?

Sorry, my emporia uses a full mechanical latch. Looks like the Grizl-e might be different.

I suspect it is your charger, not the truck

It's been working fine for the last year since I got the truck. It's a recent development. We also have a ioniq5 and there is no issue with that one.

The truck side interlock is only pinned when DCFC charging, it does not engage with level 1/2 type charging.

Is the truck unlocked when you have noticed it?
