Really? US CCS1 EVs don't lock the charging connector while charging? I never drove a production EV in the US, so I have no experience with this. Does NACS lock the connector at the car inlet? Our CCS2 locks at the both ends. The EV inlet has a motorized lock that retains the connector. Public charging points have their connectors behind little metal doors, which lock during charging, with a slot for the cable to exit.
