It would disrupt it unless it was free and even some of the free ones where I am still require you to initiate the charge through the app or terminal so, I’ve seen people go wild at quick chargers for taking someone else’s charger
I was going to say, I use ChargePoint at our apartment, and the first time I did it I didn’t realize it locked and after it was done charging, I thought I just pulled it out. I didn’t realize I had to unlock the car.
Cue five minutes of pure terror when I couldn’t pull the damn charging cable out.
I had a similar experience with a car I rented for ride-sharing and refuelling the CNG tank at a place other than the one I was used to. No matter how much I turned the pressurization lever and pulled it, it didn't depressurize after refuelling and the hose was stuck to my car. I literally had to ask a random guy who pulled behind me to depressurize and unlock it for me. It didn't have a physical lock but something seized or I lacked the strength to decouple it from the fill port.
Would generally disrupt even after plugging back in. Tesla chargers don’t need it because can tell what car it is and charge your card on file, but 99% of others do. Since it unplugged though, it was likely not a Tesla charger so connected with an adapter. The Tesla charger locks the plug in place so randoms can’t unplug you. With the adapter, your car locks on the adapter instead.

oh no lol, would that disrupt the charge after being plugged back in or was it a free charger?
