I assume the locking cable is a Europe design. I understand for public L2 you need your own cable and it locks on the vehicle to prevent theft.
Sometimes I am just glad we were not all shipped right hand drive vehicles....

Yes but a SIMPLE setting would allow selection of always lock, lock while charging or never lock. Big problem for shared charging etiquette.

Yes I live this frustration five days a week. I could leave my car to charge until the next person takes their turn. I could get 1 to 4 hours more charging per day. But no I must move.

If it helps the German cars have the exact same “stupid” behaviour with no option to change it. At least Volt/Bolt have an option to disable an alarm that goes off if someone unplugs the cable while locked.
