Quick “Best Practices” question,
When the car is plugged in and actively drawing power from the EVSE (in my case a ChagePoint Home Flex) what is the proper way to unplug it? Usually I just unplug and everything’s fine, but a few times I’ve heard a little pop as I unplug, like there was a little spark.
Should I stop the flow of power from the EVSE first? Should I stop it at the car? Does pressing the release button next to the charging port do anything when AC charging (ie Not DC).
Also, should I be worried about the 2 times it popped a little? I didn’t see a spark or anything, and it seemed fine. I just don’t want to do any damage.
