I'm a volunteer firefighter. It's not literally magsafe, but most of our apparatus has a special female socket for charging the auxiliary batteries that automatically ejects the male plug when the ignition turns on.


I'm not gonna lie, that's some brilliant design. Y'all don't have time to check all the things when you have to get to an emergency site, but I imagine you also need your lights and pumps and such to work.


Very cool. I'd never heard of that. Definitely removes half the hassle. It seems like EVs could implement a plug "pusher outer" that could do the same.
