Is there a setting so that the charge port does not lock the plug when the car is unlocked?

Now when we plug the car in when in the garage unlocked, we still have to unlock the car to get the car to release the plug.

Mahalo!

Unfortunately, there is no setting to keep the charging cable unlocked. The system was designed for European owners who bring their own charging cable to commercial stations. It's a theft prevention measure. I agree with you that North American owners should have the option to leave it unlocked.

When the charger plug is locked into the charge port while the car is unlocked and you want to stop charging and remove the plug you don't have to go through a lock/unlock cycle of the car. You can press the unlock button on the remote key fob rapidly three times and the charge port will unlock.
