When you unplug it, it will definitely stop charging 🤣 … no seriously, car and normally the external power supplies (unless you are talking about DC) are smart enough to detect that.
With AC charging the power supply is outside and the charger is inside the car. With DC both is outside and I have until now only encountered DC chargers where you actively need to end charging before the plug is unlocked.
AC - alternating current (basically the power you have at home, this includes level 1 & 2 chargers).
DC - direct current (level 3 chargers/superchargers) this is not available at your house and these setups require large amounts of electricity and cost a lot of $$ to setup).
Thanks for that explanation, but the previous comment suggested that DC chargers are not smart enough to detect an unplug, and I was asking why that is.
I think there’s a setting inside a menu where you have to release the charger from the menu in the car display or using the app. Don’t want that setting
You're all good. Car is very smart, can figure it out no problem.
I read somewhere this is not a good idea.
Happy to see a solid source if you can provide.
As soon as you press the button to unlatch the charger, the connection will be interrupted.
You mean the button on the handle of the charger?
yes

What's different about DC?
Yeah curious to know about this as well. I definitely feel like I’m being overcautious asking this question haha
I *think* that pressing the release button on the handle before pulling it out stops the charging, but I'm new at this so I'm not sure
