1. A system for an immediate shutdown of an electric vehicle charger, the system comprising:
a sensor communicatively connected to an electric vehicle charging connection between a charger and an electric vehicle, wherein the sensor is configured to:
identify a communication of the charging connection;
detect a charging characteristic of the communication; and
generate a charging datum based on the charging characteristic; and
a control circuit communicatively connected to the sensor, the control circuit configured to:
receive the charging datum from the sensor;
determine a disruption element as a function of the charging datum; and
disable the charging connection based on the disruption element, wherein
disabling the charging connection comprises:
controlling a charger power source to alter one or more electrical charging currents transferred between the electric vehicle and the charger;
controlling a ventilation component, wherein the ventilation component is configured to lead a flow of air away from the charger; and
controlling a valve of a coolant source to alter a coolant flow between the electric vehicle and the charger, wherein:
the sensor comprises at least a pressure sensor configured to detect a pressure at a seal configured to seal a coolant of the coolant flow; and
the charging datum is representative of the pressure at the seal detected by the pressure sensor.
