Mine does now and again, it's not a big it's a feature

There was a modification for it.
Mine did it and they fixed it a couple of years ago but I have caught it doing it again recently.

You could try using some silicone spray.

I think they filed a bit off a lever in the mechanism.

Agree. Or a quick blast of WD40 using the Straw attachment, to direct it.

For mine it was abrasive silicon until worn down then cleaned & WD40

You may find that the standard WD40 may dry out after a while and the handle may start to stick again.
Try this WD40 spray, this is what the dealer uses to lubricate the locks & hinges.
Pull out the handle, then direct the spray ( with the extension straw ) into the mechanism.
Used this on my sticking handle on our previous ZS EV and it worked great .

I've done this a couple of times over the last 3 years... takes a minute or so and the handle is fine for ages...
