Abstract: An electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) holster including a locking mechanism and an image capture device is described herein. The image capture device is configured to capture image data relating to a connector face of the charging connector when the charging connector is inserted into the holster. The image data is then analyzed to determine if a physical abnormality is present on the charging connector (for example, damage to the charging connector or debris lodged in the charging connector. If a physical abnormality is detected, the locking mechanism is actuated to lock the charging connector to the holster until maintenance is performed on the charging connector.
