Going to necro this thread. So why is it that CCS locks but not J1772? Is it a physical design quirk of the MachE's charge port? Or does the software decide not to lock unless the DC pins are energized.J1772 home charging, yes. CCS charging, no.
To remove a J1772 connector from the car, you have to hold the release button and then pull. Some J1772 connectors (such as Clipper Creek's) have a hole through the side of the release button to attach a padlock, if it's a real concern... I don't think the mobile charger bundled with the car has that.
I ask because a family member's X5 PHEV does indeed lock the J1772 plug even when home charging, so it is possible. I'm hoping there's a way to expand the locking feature via Forscan so that the car locks J plug as well as CCS.
