because the chevy volt uses a J1772 charge plug which, unlike the Type 2 used in Europe, doesn't have a lock in it.

this is a very annoying fact about the chevy volt.

Many cars with CCS type 1 will lock a J1772 the same way they lock the type 1 port. Sad the Volt doesn't.

it does have a setting for triggering the alarm if you pull the cable out without unlocking the doors. which just feels like such a non-solution.

That's a very "we'll fix it in software!" solution
