Systems, methods, devices, and computer-readable media secure a coupler 101 of an electric vehicle charging station 100 by locking the coupler 101 to the electric vehicle charging station 100 or an electric vehicle 210. A locking mechanism is provided within the coupler 101. The locking mechanism may include an actuator 432 configured to move between a lock and unlock position. When the actuator 432 is in the lock position, the coupler 101 may be locked to the charging station 100 or an electric vehicle 210. Whereas, when the actuator 432 is in the unlock position, the coupler 101 may be removed from the charging station 100 or electric vehicle 210. Further, the charging station 100 may include an identification device 437 for determining when to lock or unlock the coupler 101.
