Ford has been providing an adapter to F-150 Lightning electric pickup buyers that enables them to charge stranded Tesla vehicles.<\/p>\n
The automaker started deliveries of the F-150 lightning last month, and we are starting to learn more about the little details of the vehicle thanks to early owners.<\/p>\n
One of the features that got people most excited about the F-150 Lightning is the bidirectional charging capacity, which is the ability to send power from the vehicle’s battery pack to other things, like a house or even another electric vehicle.<\/p>\n
Ford provides a cord that plugs into the F-150 Lightning and can charge any electric vehicle with a J1772 plug, which is the standard EV connector in North America. Only Tesla vehicles don’t use the connector. Instead, Tesla uses its own proprietary plug.<\/p>\n
One new owner who posted on the Lightning Owners forum discovered that along with the cable, Ford provided an adapter for Tesla vehicles:<\/p>\n
\nI took delivery of my 2022 Lightning and as I’m going through the included items I found an adapter to charge Teslas. Interesting find. If I find any dead Teslas I’ll let my Ford Lightning come to the rescue. Also included was an adapter to help with all Ford mobile chargers. I guess Ford wants us owners to start a National Mobile Charging Network.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Here’s the adapter provided by Ford:<\/p>\n
