How about the "I forgot to unhook the extension cord from the car before driving away" lockout?
Zap! implements this with a relay on the throttle. 110 VAC disconnects the throttle, and high-pedal lockout prevents any shenanigans if you were to unplug while in "drive" mode.

That is an option, but then again a relay is a mechanical part that can fail. Bones' method involves fewer mechanical parts and less 110VAC wiring.
