The disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for controlling access to electrical power outlets in a vehicle. An example method executed by a processor may include determining that the vehicle is in a key-off state and detecting a door of the vehicle being opened (or detecting the door being unlocked by use of a passive entry device) when the vehicle is in the key-off state. A time period may be provided after the first door is opened or unlocked so as to allow an individual to operate a switch for coupling an electrical power source to an electrical power outlet in the vehicle. The electrical power outlet may be disconnected from the electrical power source based on detecting a failure of the individual to operate the switch within the time period and/or based on detecting a movement of the individual outside a boundary defined around the vehicle.
