"Hey STUPID! Unplug your car!!!!" LOL Edited September 25, 2019 at 02:10 PM by muzicman61 ptjones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4cylinder Posted September 25, 2019 at 02:55 PM Report Share Posted September 25, 2019 at 02:55 PM Literally every EV that's currently being sold has this exact idiot proof feature :) Tesla, Chevy Bolt/Volt, Prius Prime, whatever. Otherwise you'd be hearing of ripped-out chargers in the news on a daily basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponyguy Posted February 26, 2020 at 09:39 AM Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 at 09:39 AM Being "of a certain age," I wondered about that possibility; however, my 120 volt plug-in charger is mounted to the wall in my garage, and I'd (literally) trip over the cord if I didn't unplug it before getting into the car.

muzicman61 Posted May 18, 2020 at 02:58 PM Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 at 02:58 PM I have the opposite... a sign on the garage wall that says "PLUG IN CHARGER". So I don't forget. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
