David, You are describing the European charging stations that have a Mennekes connector on the pedestal and every EV comes with the charging cord that plugs into that Mennekes connector and into the EV. Only the US situation is that the cord is attached to the station. Apparently that is not always beneficial.

This way no cord is left at the charge station and every car can lock the cord to the car. When a car is done charging another vehicle can plug in and leave the first car's cord on the ground with the protective cap on. David D.
