Abstract: A charging system of an electric vehicle is described. The charging system comprises a charging cable that is adapted to carry a charging connector located at a distal end of the charging cable, wherein the charging connector is configured to be controllably moveable and insertable into an EV charging portal of the EV, the charging connector comprising: a latch coupled to the charging connector, a detection system coupled to the latch, and a control system configured to: obtain, from the detection system, an indication, determine, based on the indication, whether the latch on the charging connector is operational or non-operational, and generate an alert based on determining that the latch on the charging connector is non-operational.
