DETROIT – A Ford F-150 Hybrid can charge electric cars that have run out of juice. Really.
“Instead of using a tow truck to haul an electric car to a charger, why not just bring the charger directly to the car?” Mike Levine, Ford North America product communications manager, told the Free Press on Friday.
“As long as you charge at 30 amps or less and have the correct charging adapter for the electric car, the 7.2 Kw Pro Power Onboard can recharge an electric car like it can power various tools and appliances,” he said, noting that the Ford owners’ manual provides necessary details. “We’ve received questions occasionally on this. I think it’s a surprise to some new EV consumers.”
Electric vehicle owners have manuals that explain how fast they can recharge at different amps. In January, EVpulse.com gave a tutorial on how to recharge a Tesla Model 3 with an F-150 Hybrid.

Good information for EV owners to know in case they ever find themselves in need of emergency charging. Even the best vehicles need precautions and I think that this is as reliable as any other on the market.
