Many people I've seen use a Type 1 CCS connector seems to feel the need to wiggle it in/out as I watch on in horror... and I've struggled to decouple the CCS connector on multiple occasions (imagine a gas pump nozzle getting stuck and how frustrating that would be with no staff around).
Though take this with a grain of salt, as I have no firsthand experience with other connector types.
- Arrath 4y ago> (imagine a gas pump nozzle getting stuck and how frustrating that would be with no staff around) I ran into this! Some recent MY's of Dodge Ram trucks had a weird angle with their filler neck and the pump nozzle[1] would get well and truly stuck. I had a 2018 Ram 1500 provided by work, and quickly learned what local gas stations were decent and which ones I had to avoid, lest I spend a few minutes really reefing on the nozzle to get it to come loose, worrying i'll break something the whole time. [1]Vapor reclamation style pump nozzles, that is. Plain old straight nozzles were fine. See: https://www.classaction.org/media/kingston-v-fca-us-llc.pdf https://www.classaction.org/media/kingston-v-fca-us-llc.pdf "Specifically, Defendant’s defective fuel tank filler necks1 (the “Filler Neck Defect”) cause standard gas-station nozzles—which work perfectly well with other vehicles—to become lodged in the opening to Dodge Ram fuel tanks, forcing Dodge Ram owners to either physically wrench the gas nozzle free, contact their roadside assistance provider (if they have one) to have the nozzle dislodged, or even call their local fire department for help."
