How do you charge another EV at 11.5 kW ?

Interesting question. 32A x 240V from the mobile connector and outlet is only 7.68kW

It says up to , if higher power connector available will be able to provide 11kw

There's supposed to be an accessory at some point to transfer all the power of the outlets to one device.

Currently, you'd use the mobile charger with the 14-50 adapter plugged into the back.

How so? The outlets are 40A max. Thats only 9.6kW.

All the power outlets are 40A max combined. That’s only 9.6kW and I can already do that with the NEMA 14-50 plug.

PowerShare is 11.5kW, maybe someone just needs to make a NACS suicide cord lol

Basically. Although technically the pins aren't alive until commanded to be.

I believe that there is/will be another cord, that I think that I've seen in some videos, that's maybe a J-1772/NACS adapter. It's probably a smart NACS male to NACS male cord.

Probably the Powershare Mobile Connector that is included with Foundation Series.

this.

the 11.5 is from the charge port.

Like this

But for Tesla and with a 240v outlet

If it can V2V at 11+, it is going to come through the (as of yet unavailable?) “PowerShare Mobile Connector” at the NACS.

But, Tesla is being a little cagey/quiet about this connector or its relationship to the V2V charging.

In the recent “power anything” video, they vignette powering other EVs but do not place any associate max charge rate with it during the video segment on the topic. Also, they show the Lightning plugging into the bed outlets, not a NACS-supported “PowerShare Mobile Connector”

during this vignettes, they show the PowerShare screen while charging another EV, and it says the Lightning is drawing 7kWh - but that may be a fluke of the videography or the limit of the Lightning’s included 120/240-Volt (V) 30A Mobile Power Cord, which gives an an average of about 14 miles per charging hour on a 240V outlet.

Still, in the same video, the very next vignette topic is about powering other things and there it clearly states the PowerShare stated limit in the bed.

And elsewhere on the site, it also shows only charging V2V through the bed outlets:

because with the Lightning, the 9.6 kWh value is the total power for all the outlets combined, but individually the outlets are limited: up to 2.4 kW available through the frunk and up to 7.2 kW through outlets in the cab and bed.

But with the 80A Ford Charge Station Pro and Ford Intelligent Backup Power, through the CCS, it works as a 9.6 kW power source for the house.


It seems the CT may be similarly arranged:

That view is supported by the Tesla marketing materials on the site:

So, if V2V charging is supported over the bed outlets to 11+KW, it appears it will only do so through this NACS supported “PowerShare Mobile Connector” which:

(A) we haven’t seen, and
(B) Tesla isn’t exactly putting foremost in its marketing materials

In fact, the marketing materials at present are pretty quiet on V2V charging through this other connector, showing only bed outlet charging which most definitely isn’t at 11+kW

"The bed cargo outlets are disabled while in drive" - that sux, how am I supposed to charge my electric dirt bike or e-mountain bike? Maybe a future sw update, although im sure they did this for a reason.

This is expected to change. I think that the tweet is somewhere in this thread.
