I think my FFE stays locked until I unlock the car doors. The VW eGolf does the same. There is a button in the car that unlocks the connector from inside the car. I didnt see such a button on the MME. Might be there and I didnt see it. As far as I know, the only reason to use the unlock button is in the event the automatic unlock function doesn't work when DCFC is completed. Not sure because I dont DCFC thst often and as such, have never needed to use that feature.Agreed, especially for those without BEV experience.
One interesting new item:
"When charging on DC power, the charger is always locked in place when the doors are locked."
I hope that it disengages when charging is complete. I've needed to unplug the DCFC from a car that had finished to charge mine. Staying locked while charging? Sure. Staying locked after? No.
And yeah....it would be a bummer to need the charge connector and someone else is done charging and it remains locked to their vehicle. Has happened to me once. I had to wait until they arrived to unlock it. Was about 5 minutes or less luckily.
