This Might Be Interesting

[All Hat No Cattle]

I found this article on my F-150 Forum, and thought it might be interesting. And it relates to the Mach-E.

Sure would put a lot of new charging stations all over the country, LOL.

The math and the grounding structure, therefore, allow the Pro Power Onboard to charge an electric vehicle. We reached out to Ford for comment and it confirmed that, in lab testing, the Pro Power Onboard was able to charge the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the brand’s only EV. (Ford, obviously, could not comment on other EVs.)

Cool!
It makes sense though. Anything that can supply 120v AC and at 8-10 amps of continuous current should be able to charge it. Even a generator!

I'm not sure why they said the Mach-E is Ford's "only EV"

I've charged my Focus Electric using the 4k generator in our RV.

Sure and in this case, the truck can output 240v 30A too.

No matter what the situation, @JamieGeek has a picture of an EV connected to some charger with a long cord. I love it.

Do an EV connected to a boat next.

Yep. It's just some 120V and 240V outlets. It's not gonna care what's plugged into it. Just plug in the Ford mobile charger like you would into any other outlet.

LMAO!

Sadly I don't have a picture of an EV connected to a boat. I'm a land lubber at this point.

That long cord is the EVSE that came with the Focus Electric.

I'm only on this forum looking for investment ideas, but EV development is intriguing.

Can anyone tell me about how much charge (KW)/Miles you could get from, say, a one hour charge from a 30 amp/230v F150 Hybrid generator?

I'm thinking "Uber" road service with F-150's. Crazy???

230x30=6.9 kwh
Assuming a 15% loss due to heat: 5.9kwh
At 3 mi/kwh: 18 miles

That is essentially a "normal" Level-2 charge (30*230 = 6.9kW but its really 240v so 7kW). So 21 miles/hour according to Ford.

Not a very fast "rescue" charge at all.

30A x 240V = 7.2 kW. An hour of charging would be 7.2 kWh. At roughly 3 miles/kWh mileage, that's roughly 21 miles.

Although there's some loss in the charging process, so subtract maybe 10-15% from that.

A 12000 watt gas generator in the bed of the pickup would probably make more sense. Could probably add about 30 miles in an hour. Still not great, but better.

Thanks guys. So 20 miles range would have to be balanced against a 20 mile tow to the nearest Supercharger. Which varies by area of the country.

But I hope you get my point.

Of course, members of this forum would never get to a charger station with a low battery and a broken station. Right?

Or you could just get the right tool for the job.

Such sweet irony...
