The Ford F-150 Lightning is More Than an Electric Truck

Ford’s electric F-150 Lightning pickups are proficient masterpieces prepared to charge any electric vehicle (EV) or plug-in hybrid (PHEV). The electric Lightning or the PowerBoost hybrid generates power through the 7.2- or 9.6- kW onboard generators. These onboard generators are known as the Pro Power Onboard. The Pro Power Onboard is a phenomenal option for Ford’s electrified pickup. 

Although the 2.4-kW variant of the Pro Power Onboard premiers standard, the standard Pro Power does not include the 240-volt plug, essential for charging other EV’s. The optional Pro Power function features a 240-volt plug for Level 2 charging capability. 

The F-150 can charge any electric vehicle with 20 miles of range in an hour on the Mustang Mach-E, 13 miles of range for a fellow F-150 Lightning, and 10 miles of range for the Ford E-Transit cargo van. 

The mileage may not appeal to some as thought-provoking numbers, but that’s mileage for an EV friend in need. A fellow EV enthusiast may have run out of electricity. As always, the F-150 Lightning is always ready to save the day. 

Another advantage to the Pro Power Onboard involves homes with two EV’s. Talk about a hassle, one house with two EV’s and one charging outlet. The Pro Power Onboard looks to make charging two EV’s hassle-free. EV enthusiasts can plug the F-150 Lightning into their grid-fed charging outlet. The grid-fed charging outlet will simultaneously charge the EV from the F-150 Lightning’s 240-volt outlet.  

Anyone paying close enough attention will realize the Pro Power Onboard isn’t limited to charging other EVs. It doesn’t matter if it is a small electronics like a cell phone or laptop, all variations of the onboard generator can render power through a 120-volt outlet. Even the F-150 PowerBoost hybrid with the optional 7.2-kW Pro Power Onboard generator can power a home, which intensifies the attributes of the Blue Oval’s most reliable ponies.
