Press the release button on the charging cable's handle. The handle will be released/unlocked. Unplug the cable from the vehicle's charging socket and close the charger door.

Remove the charging cable from the charging station, or plug the permanent charging cable into the charging station's storage socket.

Always unlock the vehicle so that charging is stopped before unplugging the charging cable.
