A method for safely aborting charging of a vehicle provides a charging station with a charging abort cable attached to a charging cable, wherein the charging abort cable has a charging abort cable length shorter than the charging cable, attaches the charging cable to a charging inlet of the vehicle, attaches the charging abort cable to a charging abort switch on the vehicle, upon the vehicle moving away from the charging station such that the distance between the vehicle and an attachment point of the charging abort cable on the charging cable is greater than a charging abort cable length, disconnects the charging abort cable from the charging abort switch, thereby safely aborting charging of the vehicle before the charging cable is disconnected from the charging inlet.
A method for safely aborting charging of a vehicle, wherein the method comprises:
A charging station for a vehicle, wherein a charging cable of the charging station is arranged to be attached to a charging inlet of the vehicle, wherein the charging cable comprises a charging abort cable having a charging abort cable length shorter than the charging cable arranged to be connected to a charging abort switch on the vehicle, such that when the vehicle moves away from the charging station with the charging cable still connected to the charging inlet such that the distance between the vehicle and an attachment point of the charging abort cable on the charging cable becomes greater than a charging abort cable length, the charging abort cable is disconnected from the charging abort switch, thereby safely aborting the charging of the vehicle before the charging cable is disconnected from the charging inlet.
