The mobile charging cable that comes with Ford’s electric vehicles can be equipped with a 240v adapter.

make has now confirmed just how quickly the 7.2-kilowatt and 9.6-kilowatt inverters can replenish the batteries on the Mustang Mach-E, F-150 Lighting and E-Transit van.
Using the portable power cord that comes with the vehicles and a 240-volt outlet adapter, the Mustang Mach-E can fill up with 20 miles worth of electricity per hour, the F-150 Lightning 13 miles and the E-Transit 10 miles.
It’s not something an owner would want to rely on regularly, but could come in handy in a pinch if they’re running low and can’t reach a charging station.
