Manually releasing the charging cable
If the charging cable doesn't release from the car after you have stopped the charging, you can use the emergency release handle. Never use the emergency release handle when charging is in progress.
Open the boot and remove the maintenance port cover by hand or by using a tool.
Warning
Before using the emergency release handle, check the driver display or the charging port to make sure the charging process has stopped. The emergency release handle should not be used when charging is in progress.
Carefully pull the emergency release handle until you feel resistance.
The charging cable unlocks from the charging port.
Note
The emergency release handle automatically retracts when the next charging cycle is started.
Unplug the charging cable from the car.
Put the port cover back and close the boot.
If the problem persists, contact Polestar Customer Support.
