Ford Motor Company unveils their new electric F-150 Lightning outside of their headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan on May 19, 2021.
According to a Ford F-150 Lightning forum, EV owners that received the vehicle got many accessories on their purchase, and it comes for all users to get this technology. The accessory focuses on a device from Lenz, and it gives a power adapter that will allow the Lightning EV's feature to charge other car manufacturers' electric vehicles.
The F-150 Lightning's accessory comes as part of the package, and it will help in providing an option for others that are left stranded on the road to get a quick charge to move forward and get to the next charging station. It may help in avoiding the need for tow trucks and bringing them to the charging stations, and this adapter is available for Tesla's charging ports again.
Use the Ford F-150 Lightning Like a Powerbank
According to The Verge, users may use the Ford F-150 Lightning pickup truck as a power bank for many applications, and it is not entirely for charging electric vehicles only. However, one of its main focuses now is the accessory that will bring a charge to other electric vehicles with its massive capabilities from the electric car of the manufacturer.
Ford F-150 Lightning Features
There are many features that electric vehicles bring, and it is not solely for transportation purposes, as there are many technologies included in EVs that are available for their owners. One of the many new features of the F-150 Lightning that other electric vehicle companies do not have is its bi-charging capabilities that may power homes during outages.
There are many announcements regarding Ford's F-150 Lightning to work as power banks for homes and other needs, but not so much regarding its capabilities to charge other cars. The pre-production of the F-150 Lightning began earlier this year, and the massive manufacturing of the company brought many jobs that help the economy now.
The more people demand the electric pickup truck from Ford, the more it helps more drivers out there on the roads, and allow people to enjoy more features available on the vehicle. Its power bank features aim to help those out there, and accessories available from Ford and partner companies may help in allowing to help those stranded without a battery charge.
