A YouTuber found a way to power his truck with portable battery banks.
The battery packs were hooked up to a new prototype product that links the batteries into the truck's AC charging system.
Here's how it affected the overall range.
Extended Range EVs are all the rage right now. BMW did it, Chinese automakers are doing it, Scout even prioritized it over BEVs. Arguably, it might just be the next evolution of what hybrids will become. But what about existing EVs on the road?
It turns out that range anxiety sparked some innovation in the EREV industry. And Simon Lindley of the Trucked Up EVs YouTube channel wanted to test if a new product could enable him to turn his Ford F-150 Lightning into a makeshift EREV by charging the truck with big battery banks while he drives.
