Abstract
Embodiments described herein describe an immobilization device configured to simulate the communication of safety signals of a charging cable to a charging port of an electric vehicle; such that a processor of the electric vehicle may determine that the charging state of electric vehicle is ready to charge, thus immobilizing the vehicle. In embodiments, the immobilization device may be configured to restrict the movement of the electric vehicle without supplying power to the electric vehicle, and be configured to allow the components of the electric vehicle to be utilized if the immobilization device is coupled to the charging port of the electric vehicle.
