A hybrid vehicle and a method of controlling a hybrid vehicle is provided. The hybrid vehicle comprises an electronic control system configured to perform a first mode of controlling the selective opening and closing of a blocking mechanism of a connector socket, which connector socket is provided for connection of a charging cable to the hybrid vehicle. The first mode including: monitoring a respective state of two or more components of the hybrid vehicle, and automatically opening the blocking mechanism upon determining that said states of said two or more components fulfill a respective criterion. The two or more components include a parking brake, and vehicle locks, wherein the criteria for automatically opening the blocking mechanism include a state of the parking brake being applied, and a state of the vehicle locks being unlocked.
A hybrid vehicle, comprising an electronic control system including a hybrid system controller, and a hybrid system, which hybrid system comprises a connector for connection of a charging cable of a charging station to the hybrid vehicle, said connector comprising a blocking mechanism for selectively preventing and allowing access of a charging cable plug to the connector, said electronic control system being operatively connected to the blocking mechanism and being connected to a number of components of the hybrid vehicle, wherein said electronic control system being configured to perform a first mode of controlling the selective opening and closing of the blocking mechanism, wherein the electronic control system when performing the first mode of controlling is configured to:
A method for controlling a hybrid vehicle, which hybrid vehicle comprises an electronic control system including a hybrid system controller, and a hybrid system, which hybrid system comprises a connector for connection of a charging cable of a charging station to the hybrid vehicle, said connector comprising a blocking mechanism for selectively preventing and allowing insertion of a plug of the charging cable into the connector, said method being performed by the electronic control system and includes a first mode of controlling the blocking mechanism, and wherein the first mode includes:
A computer program product comprising computer program code stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium readable by a computer, said computer program product used for controlling a hybrid vehicle, which hybrid vehicle comprises an electronic control system including a hybrid system controller, and a hybrid system, which hybrid system comprises a connector for connection of a charging cable of a charging station to the hybrid vehicle, said connector comprising a blocking mechanism for selectively preventing and allowing insertion of a plug of the charging cable into the connector, said computer program code comprising computer instructions to cause one or more computer processors to perform the following operations in a first mode of controlling the blocking mechanism:
