If you\u2019re unable to remove the charging cable, it\u2019s possible your EV did not end the charging session (or hasn\u2019t recognised that the session has ended). In this instance, you\u2019ll need to end the charging session from the vehicle itself before removing the charging cable. Check the vehicle user guide to find out how this is done for your particular make and model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although each vehicle has different requirements for stopping the charging session, the charge port unlock button is usually found in the centre console, near the driver\u2019s door or on the key fob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re really stuck, most vehicles have an emergency release cable you can pull, so do check the car manual to help you locate this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\r\n\t\t\t<div id=\"daexthefu-container\"\r\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"daexthefu-container
