A vehicle control system 10 for locking a closure (11) of a vehicle such as a fuel flap cover or particularly a power charge flap of an electric vehicle, the control system configured to receive a location signal (101), indicative of a current location of the vehicle, in dependence on the location signal (101), determine a proximity of the vehicle to a predetermined location 202; and in dependence on the determined proximity, output a lock signal (102) to lock the closure. The predetermined location may be a car wash and the closure a charge flap of an EV such that upon proximity to a car wash the charge flap is locked closed to otherwise avoid accidental release of pressure release mechanism. The system may determine whether the vehicle is below a speed threshold as to whether to output a lock signal. The system may include other comfort features such as retracting side mirrors or door handles. Also mentioned is powered closure of tailgates and windows.
