This has happened to me every time at a public charger.
My car is off. Plug in the charger. Car charges. all good. But if I stop the charger before the car is done charging then
charge plug lock will not unlock. You can press the open charge compartment button on the dash, turn the car on off but it still will not unlock.
The only way I have found to unlock it is manually. So open the hood. Look above the charger compartment. There is a round plastic slug that covers the locking mechanism for the plug lock. Pop that off and then push the metal hammer back. Now you can unplug the charger.
seems like a software issue. Because when the car gets a full charge it turns off it's charger and then allows me to push the open charge compartment button on the dash to unlock the charger.
