That includes power tools, radios, entire homes during blackouts and even other electric vehicles. Not just other vehicles, in fact.
Shortly after its launch in May, several testers decided to see what happens if you plug the F-150 Lightning's charging cable into its own 240-volt outlet in the bed, which is powered by a 7.2-kilowatt inverter on top models. It turns out the vehicle starts charging itself, but not in a useful way.
