Is there anything in an Electric Vehicle to prevent it being driven off whilst still plugged in?

  • On some large diesel machines I have been known to use as 12V PSU from the shore power connector to interlock to a warning light on the dash and an immobiliser, - ties in with a circuit that keeps the engine cranking battery charged. Hopping in and driving off  is a very real problem if not interlocked.


    On a modern EV, the electronics knows it is charging and wll not let you drive off.
