8.5 Locking the charging plug into the socket
For IEC 62196-2 Type 2 type sockets, the plug of the charging cable is locked into the socket
while charging. The locking mechanism of the plug is motorised, which means that the
electronics of the station control the locking and unlocking of the plug. This fact may present a
problem if the station (and consequently the electronics) loses its power supply. The plug
remains locked in the socket and is automatically unlocked once the power is restored. If the
power is out for a longer period of time, the maintenance staff needs to intervene to safely
remove the plug.
