1. A vehicle charging system for charging a vehicle, comprising:
a power input port configured to receive input electrical power from a power source;
a coupling configured to receive a charging current associated with the input electrical power and to provide an electrical interconnect between the vehicle charging system and the vehicle in order to provide the charging current to the vehicle;
a charge controller comprising one or more logic circuits configured to:
establish a charging session between the vehicle charging system and the vehicle via electronic communication with a vehicle charge controller of the vehicle; and
control supply of the charging current to the coupling in order to provide the charging current to the vehicle during the charging session; and
a system controller comprising one or more processors configured to:
receive an indication of a user selection of a manual disconnection option at an input component of the vehicle charging system from a user of the vehicle charging system; and
control the charge controller to reset by causing the charge controller to proceed through a power cycle process in order to reboot the charge controller in order to disengage the coupling from the vehicle in response to receiving the indication of the user selection of the manual disconnection option.
