Abstract

A damage and hazard prevention device and method for preventing damage and safety hazards related to electric vehicle charging are disclosed. An electric vehicle charging handle includes a port to deliver a charge to an electric vehicle, and a port to communicate a charging signal to the electric vehicle. The charging handle includes a connector latch assembly to temporarily affix the charging handle to the electric vehicle, and an ejection element to automatically and mechanically push the charging handle away from the electric vehicle. A digital logic section transmits an electronic signal via an electric signal line to cause the ejection element to push the charging handle away from the electric vehicle. A sensor detects at least one of i) a mechanical force applied to the charging handle or ii) movement of the charging handle. The digital logic section triggers an ejection of the ejection element responsive to the sensor's detections.
