A charger plug release system for use with an electric vehicle is provided. The charger plug release system provides a preloaded outward force to the electric charging plug when the plug is electrically connected to a charging receptacle on the EV. When charging is completed, the plug may be released (e.g., via a mobile “app”), and the outward force applied by the system to the plug causes the plug to be ejected without manual intervention. Accordingly, the release system eliminates the need for the user to manually pull the plug from the EV charging receptacle, and instead, forcefully ejects the plug from the EV automatically. This allows the user to automatically remove the plug from the EV from within the vehicle or from another safe location.
