However, one of its main focuses now is the accessory that will bring a charge to other electric vehicles with its massive capabilities from the electric car of the manufacturer.

Ford F-150 Lightning Features

There are many features that electric vehicles bring, and it is not solely for transportation purposes, as there are many technologies included in EVs that are available for their owners. One of the many new features of the F-150 Lightning that other electric vehicle companies do not have is its bi-charging capabilities that may power homes during outages.
