Is Your Ride’s Charge Door Not Locking?

[Jannie20W8]

Hi,
I’ve been noticing that the charge door on my 23 Subaru Solterra doesn’t lock when the car’s locked. Kinda sketchy, right? This worries me; as it might leave the charging port open for damage or someone swiping stuff. Anybody else dealing with this or am I just totally missing a setting here?


Thank you, Jan

Hi Jan, I’ve noticed the same on my Solterra, the charge door doesn’t lock, even when the car’s locked. It’s definitely a bit concerning. The manual only mentions locking the cable handle, not the door itself. Seems like it’s just how it’s designed.

Oh, good to know, I guess! But still, kinda annoying, right? I’d definitely feel better if the charge door was locked, especially with how easy it is for someone to mess with it.
