I was charging the car at home with a fixed wall charger on Thursday night and got an error message saying charging interrupted on the app. Not unusual I thought, it happens sometimes. Come Friday morning I go to unlock the car and pull the charger cable handle out and it has a red light above the port and the handle won’t release. Tried 30-40 lock and unlock cycles and no release. Called Volvo dealer, referred to Volvo roadside who said cover expired, referred to Lex who lease it, sent AA. AA man unable to release it. No emergency release of locking pin. Car now tethered to house. Any ideas short of cutting the isolated cable or disassembling the wall charger to unwire it. I can start and move the car using the seven second override, so if I can get the car detached from the wall it can go to the dealer. Help please!
