It _appears_ to lock onto both input and output connectors.
As I recall, the pilot wire is the first to disconnect when the
connector parts from the receptacle.
When the pilot signal is cut off, this signals the charger to shut off
immediately. Thus, no arc, at least in theory.
There is all sorts of belt and suspenders safety stuff built-in to EV
charging.
Additionally, I believe that OEM EV's simply won't move when they are
plugged in, aside from being physically towed away.
Again, the belt and suspenders safety stuff...

Almost none of these low-cost adapters have the technically required
mechanical interlock. This means you can rip out the cable while high-amp
charging is occurring and this could cause an arc flashover which is
basically shorting out your battery pack! NEVER attempt to unplug one
until you stop the charging somehow.
The Tesla made OEM adapters have a mechanical interlock that prevents you
from disconnecting until the port is unlocked only after the system
determines there's no voltage present anymore, this is how it should be!

Hi folks
A friend sent me this $50 adapter that got good reviews. Although I bought
a $200 GM Bolt adapter last year, I was curious if anyone has experience
with direct pulling the cord while charging, safety it claims incase
someone else borrows the car and forgets to turn off the fast charger via
the dash.
Best regards mark
