1. A charging port of an electric vehicle, wherein the charging port comprises:
a direct current pin;
an alternating current pin;
a ground pin, the ground pin providing a grounded connection;
a resistance sensor, the resistance sensor electrically connected to the direct current pin, the alternating current pin, and the ground pin, the resistance sensor configured to measure a resistance datum, the resistance datum comprising:
a first resistance, the first resistance comprising a measurement of resistance between the direct current pin and the ground pin; and
a second resistance, the second resistance comprising a measurement of resistance between the alternating current pin and the ground pin; and
a controller, the controller configured to:
receive the resistance datum from the resistance sensor; and
compare the resistance datum to a threshold resistance datum.
