Ford F-150 Hybrid Is Practical For Charging Dead EVs

[AzScorpion]

I really hope we see a PHEV Ranger with the onboard generator as this video shows the F150's charging capabilities. These seem way more practical for many people compared to a full EV and it doesn't really use a lot of gas to charge while only idling at 1000 rpm. Plus another benefit is if you own a F150 Lightning you can use this in your fleet when towing to charge it every 100 miles. lol

The goal is to charge the Tesla from 50 percent to 90 percent. The Ford F-150 hybrid handles this no problem, and easily sustains its peak output rating of 7.2 kW throughout the test. With the continuous output, the pickup’s RPMs never exceed 1,000, meaning that its running engine stays quiet throughout the charging process. It only took three hours to charge the Tesla from 50 to 90 percent, and the F-150 only consumed a little over three gallons of fuel. That translates to roughly 32 miles of driving range per gallon.

EV Pulse notes that while a generator is a far more affordable option for charging an EV than a whole Ford F-150 hybrid, in a pinch, the truck’s generator capabilities have more than just one functionality. It can also provide power for campsites, power tools and other necessary electronics.

Better alternative if we can figure out how to fit this in a Rangers bed.......
Probably be able to charge the Tesla up in around 36 seconds...
