Should the charge cable on the recharge ‘Lock in’ when vehicle locked?

Ok, I can’t locate the answer on line. When I charge my XC40 recharge I can walk up to the vehicle without my key, press the unlock button and the cable can be released. This means anyone could wander up and stop my charge and charge their car if they could get close enough to use the cable. Not sure if it meant to be locked in so nobody can remove?

If the unlock button is working your key is still within radio range, try it again with the key (all keys) in your microwave (or a longer distance away) and you should find it does not unlock.
