Plug in Hybrid Question

[Dillon]

So am i right in saying anyone can just walk up and plug the cable out and potentially do a runner with it? haha

Anyone any experience of this on BMW PHEV's?

Obviously will have a proper wall fixed charge point installed eventually but thats going to take afew weeks and the portable cable seems pretty damn vulnerable to theft

Really surprised this wasn't engineered into the cars; like it locks into place when the vehicle is locked or something similar - a little too complicated for zee Germans maybe; they are usually so good at thinking of things i didnt even know would be useful haha

On the X5 40e its locked to the car when the car is locked so I imagine its the same on the other PHEV's

Ah right great; it wasn't too clear online but if thats the case then i retract my previous statement about zee Germans
