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.
Do people still celerbrate the age old tradition of driving off with the petrol/diesel filler still in the fuel tank filler? ?
