RESCUED! CAN THE ALL-ELECTRIC FORD F-150 LIGHTNING FULLY CHARGE ANOTHER EV?

EV Channels Review

This video explores the capability of the Ford F-150 Lightning to charge another electric vehicle, specifically a Mini Cooper SE, using its Pro Power Onboard system. Initially, the attempt to use Level 1 charging proved too slow, estimating a full charge by the next day. The reviewer realized they forgot the necessary adapter for Level 2 charging, requiring a "second rescue" from a colleague. Once the correct 240-volt adapter was acquired, the F-150 Lightning (and later a Ford Power Boost Hybrid) successfully provided Level 2 charging. The Mini Cooper SE was charged from near-zero to 99% in approximately five hours, consuming 27% of the Lightning's battery capacity. While the system worked impressively, the charging cable and adapter experienced some heat issues when exposed to direct sunlight, though the truck's inverter managed the load effectively. The conclusion is that the F-150 Lightning can indeed rescue and fully charge another EV, albeit with a significant draw on its own battery.
