A charging assembly includes a charging inlet and a locking device mounted to the charging inlet. The locking device includes a housing, a release member, and an override member. The release member is connected to a movable locking pin via a mechanical linkage. The locking pin in an extended position is configured to secure a mating connector of an external power source to the charging inlet. The override member is slidably mounted to the housing, and includes a tail that is coupled to the release member. The override member has a contact surface configured to be engaged by an external instrument to translate the override member relative to the housing such that the tail actuates the release member causing the locking pin to transition from the extended position towards a retracted position to enable the mating connector to be disconnected from the charging inlet.
