Can The New 2021 Ford F-150 FULLY Charge an Electric Car? You Won't Believe How Much Gas It Uses! 

Disappointed he did not actually make delicious sourdough toast. He could've made a whole meal!

Best comment! Haahaaaa!

This new technology is making me hornie

Yep basically the excitement of a toaster over and over

F-150, America in a nutshell!!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jkFDazsVE5A.html&ab_channel=SelfAssembly

opens up electric adventure vehicles too. Like electric dirtbikes and quads

I think this is a very underrated aspect to bev pickup truck's. The ct will come standard with a 240v outlet. And with things like solar bed covers? You could power your travel trailer, or tiny home. And with the sun shining not even use much if any of the tow vehicle's range. 🤔

I completely agree!

You can tow the travel trailer with the super duty and then power it with the shitty F150. It's a real game changer. Shout out to the honda 7k generator for not changing the game

Yes! Needs to be a 2500 though. 5th wheels. 😉

Maybe to try to wake up a totally dead machine but nobody in a tow company sits still for 5 minutes. That car is coming off the road asap.

No sane person is fully charging an EV like this, but charging about 1 mile every 2 minutes means you get 8 miles on 15 minutes. Usually that is plenty to get to a charging station. 15 minutes is a nominal stop for a tow truck. This is a game changer for EVs and tow companies.

Exactly. Besides most electric serious generators are Diesel anyway so it would be perfect in a Super Duty Diesel truck to have not only this HEV but mostly PHEV technology to be usable in big cities in its pure EV mode.

@@nevco8774 no one is going to put hours on an expensive diesel engine in an industrial setting. They will use a dedicated onboard generator.

@@daniels2761 it will be for the weekend warrior though. It’s an amazing feature to have in case of emergency

You won’t need “superduty” anymore with the F-150EV. You get the power of the power stroke, probably even more torque, but get the efficiency of a small econobox car. Folks, trucks as we have know it is about to be turned upside down & the dealers HATE IT. No more expensive ass oil changes, no more expensive fuel, no more gearbox and rear end fluids to break down, the shop is ALMOST pointless (the $$$ in a dealership) I’ve been EV since 2014, but still retain my 2014 F350 Platinum for camping. As soon as I can get rid of diesel, the better !

@@tobyray8700 I wish that was the case but when towing a high profile camper power isn’t near the most important thing but I do get where you are coming from

Don’t be. It’s still a shitbox ford. It can charge stuff but how long will the truck last? How much when all that junk break on that truck?

I’m a Ram guy and I’m having the same problem.

@@JayTdub13 probably not the battery or the nav

they're much better these days. 150 on my '14 with the 5 liter and no problems at all. Pretty close to new.

@@derekwood3189 brother in law has a new 2019, shifts hard as hell and dealer can’t fix it and it burns 2qts of oil in between oil changes. 4 if he’s towing. Junk. Maybe you’ve got a good one.

yep, pull the emergency handle on the door, open door... back truck out and backfeed house lol!

Yeah great and you have to stay home 24/7 because you can't drive your generator places lol way to think it through.

You can buy a generator much cheaper than this pickup.... and the big thing is that running a dedicated generator won't put hours on your pickup.....

@@daniels2761 The reason you buy a generator for much cheaper is because it's obviously not a whole freaking truck... what's your point ? The generator is built in and is a 800$ add on to the truck which is funny enough cheaper then many generators.... So you basically get a cheap generator and an actual truck altogether that can do what a generator does and more and better even.

@@pryme2013 Why would you need to stay home 24/7 ? If it's for emergencies and or specific certain situations then that doesn't make sense, also the fact that if you are trying to power your home then you should be at your home....

Also RV boondocking

Just watch out that you don't run the gas in your tank down to where you can't get back!

Agreed! Quickly becoming the most knowledgeable too, imho

OMG. This guy sucks. He's almost worse than Doug DeMoron. Almost.

Tommy knows your Mom?

Correct answer is tailgating!

Going significantly further per gallon of gas is anything but lame.

That’s a BMW...

@@ghostrunner2138 Watch the full video

@@MichaelMartinNfldtoTexas To be fair it was a BMW tho

@@austinreed347 Go to 18:41. Yes they did a BMW, but also a Tesla....didn't I say see the WHOLE video?

my deepest apologies -Tommy

Maybe he didn't exactly say it, but it was definitely implied. 😉

Brilliant

@@TFLnow Now that somebody mentions it,a cooking test with it might be interesting. And maybe run a small electric heater during a winter camping trip. But only try those if you can do so in a somewhat safe manner. For example,if you winter camp do so next to a warm building you can retreat to if things go wrong. And maybe have a watch dog with you. I would like info,not to be responsible for bad things happening.

Legacy automakers are greedy and lazy, they’d rather keep doing the same old thing and keep milking the profits. One of the main reasons they are even making more PHEVs and BEVs now is because Tesla is pushing the whole industry forward.

Toyota has been making functional hybrids for decades, but few outside of taxi companies cared.

Exactly... this isn't cutting edge tech, it's simply something they finally decided to implement based on competition. Ford could have slapped a hybrid powertrain and DC->AC inverter on their trucks a decade ago. New competition is good.

I don't think that ford came up with that oven night probably working on that at least 5 or so years plus no demand till Tesla entered in seen

Toyota has been making true hybrids since the 90's. Have you been sleeping.

But you can only get the pro power with the hybrid, can you can only get the hybrid with the King Ranch, Platinum and Limited. Need it in the XL for it to be good for work trucks.

@@rizzoyo8557 on the ford site you can get the hybrid in all trims

@@rizzoyo8557 it’s an option for every trim level, including base xl’s

Yes I think the Ford fleet sales will be going well over there normal sales. And they already are way over any other brand

@@2000blackstang omg, if Ford makes a base F150 hybrid for fleet sales, that's happiness thru the roof and sales will skyrocket. Never liked GM fleet trucks tbh.

I guessed 2.3

Even more importantly...the AC. Fridge can chill on propane while traveling. A hot trailer takes hours to cool.

Many fridges already run on the 12V DC supply that all trucks give RVs

That'll be amusing. Since you can power two different RVs.

That is why so many people here in PR are interested in this verison.

@@darthyoda6782 OH NOOO💔💔💔

Very interesting innovative idea, keep on surprising us, guys !!

Been thinking the same thing

More practical cause lots of convert them to campers

400hp is 300kw

@@captainkirk3000 ?? I was trying to say I was impressed with how the F-150 can generate full load while maintaining such a low RPM.

@@Treyk901 I didn't attack you

yep! i power mine with a 6500 watt generator when the power goes out.

That is in the works. The F-250 will get it next. My hope is that the 7.3 and 6.8 gas engines will get the hybrid, not just the diesels. Although diesels make better generators.

The type of content ONLY TFL can do. I really enjoyed this

Your mom is ass-a-nine.

yes it does!

That could be a middle finger to the tesla tug of war video

That's a great idea.

If an ev could charge while driving I'd have it flat tow the F150 and compare the battery range of towing while not charging vs towing while charging.

Both gas and electricity

Yes!

Depends, I have a 12kw generator and it consumes about 1 gallon per hour - basically the same as this. The truck is definitely quieter and probably much cleaner emissions though.

How do you figure?

@@bob15479 maybe referring to the exhaust system which includes muffler and catalytic converter. I have to imagine those might help...?

@@kinetocore thats e missions not efficiency. We need a test.

@@bob15479 Oh you are correct, I was specifically referring to "The truck is definitely quieter and probably much cleaner emissions though."

Let’s see which one performs better when they’re both on the market. Fords is a hybrid, not an electric vehicle. Oh and cannot be paired with a rear locker, how exciting.

Might want to have a look at Ford’s debt burden, and the implication that has on its free cash flow, which in turn has further implications on its operations and how it is viewed by investors. Ford has over $150 billion of total debt on its balance sheet. The market capitalization you’re quoting of $36 billion is a net number; the implied gross asset value of Ford would be $186 billion ($150 + $36). Tesla on the other hand has a much lower debt level; Tesla has a bit over $10 billion in debt, which gives an implied gross asset value of $550 billion ($540 + $10). So if you assess the companies based on assets, which is a more meaningful comparison, Tesla is being valued at roughly three times the level of Ford. Comparing just market capitalization without accounting for debt is misleading. If you account for the massive drag such a high debt burden has on growth potential then it starts to make a lot more sense. Ford’s ANNUAL interest expense is over $10 billion! Ford pays more on interest in just ONE YEAR on its debt than Tesla owes on its ENTIRE debt obligations. Instead of investing money into research and development and over value generating activities, Ford is forced to service huge interest payments. This issue isn’t just limited to Ford.

@@stefanleonte3155 good stuff. Thanks for breaking that down a bit more. So how overvalued do you think tesla is right now?

@@tb1951 Valuations are a super tricky area! Strictly speaking, the valuation of a company is the value today of all of it's future profits. There are so many assumptions that go into a valuation that they're really just a probability weighted best guess, which is picked from a high-low range. Market capitalization valuations for listed companies end up being bets today between buyers and sellers based on what they think will actually happen in the future, and whether a company will be able to execute on its plans (or not). Tesla is a very interesting situation. On the face of it, it's easy to compare Tesla to other car companies because, well, it makes cars. However, it's more nuanced than that, which is why Tesla (at the moment) offer the potential for significant returns in the future; there are several significant business lines, such as insurance, that existing manufacturers simply can't compete with. In my opinion, Tesla has some absurd upside potential in terms of its products and services over time, however, equally, it's entirely possible that this potential is never fully realized. In short, I think their valuation reflects a belief that they will continue transforming mobility and energy in a big way. Just my opinion.

@@steak8278 I would "assume" it's pure sine wave but I haven't seen anything in the marketing brochures that say one way or the other. I will say that there are MANY inverters out there that are only modified sine wave. If an inverter or inverter generator doesn't specifically state "pure sine wave" I would assume it's modified.

This has nothing to do with efficiency, it's all about convenience. Like, why hosed someone wait 40mins at a charging station to charge up their car when it only takes 5 mins to full up a gas tank.

Never mind energy efficiency. What is the financial efficiency of a gas vehicle versus electric? I just bought a brand-new gas car that has 400 mile range; average driver of this car achieves 45 mpg; and it cost me $11,820 before taxes; didn't have to build a garage and install a charging station. The small electric cars are about the same size and utility; have less range; have a shrinking fuel tank over time, and cost almost three times as much before adding the garage and charging station. I'm all for electrics, but they've got to get where they can compete where it counts. Not to mention, the fuel cost is much higher, which off sets the efficiency advantage by a quarter.

@@kwan3560 Why go to the gas station at all when you can just plug in at home?

@@gregoryfaulkner5345 Horses were cheap vs cars in 1920. That's where we are now.

@@olamarvin why plug in at home when there are numerous gas stations around 🧐

Nah ev owners can just pay for a tow to a station.

The question is, would you ask them to pay for the gas you burn to charge their battery? Keep in mind that they probably despise you for driving a truck powered by icky hydrocarbons in the first place.

I would say that the main take away is that you can max out the system for a long time and it works fine. So if needed you can power basically any tools, welder and what nots up to 7,2kW. That is alot.

This! I’ve been close to running out of juice just a few miles from home. This would be clutch to just give enough electrons to get home.

@@luisbarraza9709 You could carry a 5kW Honda generator and 5 gallons of gasoline. That would double your range, if you didn't mind waiting for hours beside the road to charge your battery. Or better yet, run the generator while you drive your car, and plug it into your charging port. Charge while your drive!

I used to joke that the TFL guys could do a video about a toaster and make it interesting. Flash forward to 2020 and it has been done......and I was not disappointed. 👍

Or something loose in the box hits that whole unit. Just like the GMC multi function tailgate. Thousands of dollars!

but its not even a Tesla...
