a controller programmed to,
in response to the electrical port receiving the electrical connector to initiate a charging operation for the battery, restrict power flow from the battery to the electric machine to limit operation of the vehicle,
in response to disengaging the electrical connector from the electrical port, facilitate power flow from the battery to the electric machine such that operation of the vehicle is not limited, and
