Electric Vehicle Charge Plug Not Releasing

Verify the failure to release by checking the status light on the charge port and the vehicle's dashboard display. Observe if the vehicle remains in a 'Charging' or 'Standby' state despite an attempt to terminate the session. Confirm the issue by attempting to remove the plug using only light, manual pressure; if the plug remains rigid and immovable, the locking mechanism is confirmed to be in an engaged state.
