Want to charge a Rivian R1T, that is charging a Tesla Model 3 behind it? The Ford F-150 Lightning can do it—and it's not hard!
miles. Besides providing energy for propulsion, Ford also allows owners to use the large traction battery as a"generator" with 240V and 120V sockets while emitting no tailpipe emissions and no loud generator noise.One benefit of EV is that wherever there's electricity, you can charge it with the right plug. We did not hesitate to attempt to charge our our long-term.
Although that helps in an emergency, at that kind of rate it will only be good for 1-2 miles of range per hour of charging.We didn't stop there. We found a NEMA L14-30P to 14-50R adapter and then switched to using the 240V L14-30R socket on the Ford F-150 Lightning's truck bed to charge our Rivian R1T. It didn't work at first because the R1T is capable of drawing more power than the socket can provide and easily tripped the circuit.
So in an emergency, the Ford F-150 Lightning can easily rescue a depleted Tesla. As Ford's CEO says"Not trolling. Just helpful". Although we'd say it would be even more helpful if Ford could include a NEMA L14-30P to 14-50R adapter along with the electric truck. It's an essential adapter to connect the onboard 240V socket to an EV mobile connector.While our long-term Rivian R1T doesn't have a 240V socket, it still has a couple of 120V outlets.
