2021: Announcement of electric vehicle charging system from each other
At the end of December 2021, Ford revealed that 2022 Lightning and F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid cars will use 240-volt Ford Pro Power Onboard sockets that allow electric cars to charge each other. The on-board generator and battery system will be of high capacity, and to provide high-energy emergency power sources during power outages or to replenish the EV battery for a neighboring car or in emergency situations on the roads.
The ability to recharge from car to car is only one of the ways in which the company is trying to use its new pickup truck to attract customers. The Ford Mobile Power Cord charger in the F-150 Lightning will be able to provide second-level charging, which is estimated to add an average range of 32 km/h charging on the Mustang Mach-E with a battery of increased capacity and all-wheel drive, the existing all-electric Ford model. The charger will add up to 20 km/h on the upcoming Lightning, and will also add an average range of 16 km/h of charging for the Ford E-Transit cargo van.
 | The importance of this cannot be overemphasized. There has never been a system that can help other people. This system can charge any other fully electric car in the same cycle, and it comes with all the necessary equipment. Auto will charge at the same speed as the home system, "said Patrick Soderborg, engineer for electronic power units systems at Ford. |  |
According to Soderborg, this is only the beginning in the application of bidirectional backup power at Lightning, noting that the truck can also be used to manage home power and balance the network. Soderborg added that customers will be able to easily take advantage of this opportunity by using a widely available power adapter to connect Ford Mobile Power Cord to their truck. Once connected to a 240-volt outlet, customers can use Mobile Power Cord to charge a number of fully electric cars using the SAE J1772 charging port, including both Ford EV and other manufacturers.[1]
