F-150 PowerBoost: The Savior of Stranded EVs

In a groundbreaking move late last year, Ford announced its vehicles would be equipped with vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging capabilities, enabling them to provide power to dead electric vehicles, including Tesla Model 3s. This technology was put to the test recently by EV Pulse, a leading YouTube channel focusing on all things EV, which examined how efficiently an F-150 PowerBoost hybrid could revive a Tesla.

Equipped with a 7.2 kW onboard generator, the Ford F-150 PowerBoost hybrid proved itself a formidable contender in the realm of electric vehicle recovery. EV Pulse conducted tests to gauge the truck’s charging speed and efficiency, aiming to charge a Tesla from 50 percent to 90 percent. Impressively, the F-150 hybrid maintained its peak output throughout the process, taking only three hours to complete the task while consuming a mere three gallons of fuel.

The versatility of the F-150 hybrid’s generator capabilities extends beyond EV rescue missions, offering practical applications such as powering campsites, tools, and electronics. EV Pulse concludes that if they were in the business of rescuing stranded EVs, the F-150 hybrid would undoubtedly earn a spot in their fleet.
