Abstract

A power-feed connector disconnection device includes an index value detector, a starting intention determiner, and a lock-releasing unit. The index value detector detects an index value that correlates with a starting intention of a driver to start a vehicle when a power-feed connector is coupled to a power-receiving connector of the vehicle. The starting intention determiner determines a presence or absence of the starting intention of the driver based on the index value detected by the index value detector when the power-feed connector is coupled to the power-receiving connector of the vehicle. The lock-releasing unit is provided in the power-receiving connector and releases a lock between the power-receiving connector and the power-feed connector when the starting intention determiner determines that the driver has the starting intention.
