What's this lock symbol?

[RKinWA]

So I hardly go to this screen and did today and noticed this symbol (the center one). It appears to be charge lock. I wasn't aware we had charge locking, or is it just a symbol that doesn't work? ?

It's a charger *unlock* button that is only activated when DC fast charging.

Ah, but not really a *lock" per se, if someone pushed the button on the outside it would unlock and they could pull the plug. Not really seeing the point of the software button.

Could be redundancy in case your physical unlock button failed to work? Maybe the button could potentially freeze where you couldn't unlock the DCFC cable outside to end your session? ?‍

I’m pretty sure the external charge unlocks follows the same FOB/PAAK rules. If there is no unlocking device around you won’t be able to unlock the high voltage charging cable.

this is not he case with level 1/2 charging - you can always just unplug that.
