For the gear lock, You might find it has an interlock and can't be engaged above a certain speed.
I honestly have no idea about evs but as a crane technician interlocks (system reads x state before allowing you to happen) prevent all kinds of accidental applications of certain systems.
For instance a franna has a switch on the dash from high to low range, even if you press this switch at 80kmh until the transmission registers a speed below 2kmh it will not allow that to happen.
Yep, that's how it should be.
In reality, I've been able to engage gear lock at a low speed. Whatever interlock they (Mitsubishi) have built - ain't 100% foolproof.
