Just curious if a L2 J1772 cable locks onto the car when charging, or if there settings to enable or disable the locking? My Leaf has settings for this. Just did not know about the Lucid as I don’t have it yet.

Much thanks for this insight! Did not occur to me that I needed to unlock the car to disconnect cable. And like quite a few of my challenges, it is not mentioned in the owners manual.It locks if the car is locked, unlocks when the car is unlocked
Funny, it was in a previous version of the manual but you are right it is not there now. They should put this back in the manual. From the previous versionMuch thanks for this insight!

It took me a while to figure it out too, as I was the OP on this thread. Our Leaf has a setting where I can have the cable locked or unlocked. Since we always charge at home in the garage I have it set to unlocked. Would be nice to have that setting on the Lucid. Most of the time I go out to the garage for something, see the car has finished charging and don’t have the key or phone with me to unplug. It is slightly annoying to dig the phone app out to unlock everytime. But there are other things much higher on my wish list LIKE SCHEDULED CHARGING. Lucid do you hear me?I had this exact problem on my first day owning the car. Was charging my first ever EV and I couldn't get the cable out of the port. Took me 10 minutes and a call to service for them to say "Um, did you unlock your car?"
In hindsight, it makes complete sense....this way, no a$$hole can walk by and unplug all the EVs for no reason other than being an a$$hole.
Precisely. I would never want the cable to be released without unlocking the car, for this very reason.I had this exact problem on my first day owning the car.

This also happened to me the first time I charged lol. It was a Taycan owner next to me that said “have you tried unlocking it” and I felt like an idiot haha.I had this exact problem on my first day owning the car.

The *definitely* don’t think people want scheduled charging or that it’s important.But there are other things much higher on my wish list LIKE SCHEDULED CHARGING. Lucid do you hear me?
