Using a 2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid to Charge Tesla

[RV33]

My company just purchased a new F-150 Hybrid for me, which comes equipped with a 7.2 kw inverter (they call it a generator).

The L14-30R output is rated at 240V/30 amps.

Ford says this can run full power for up to 32 hours on a full tank of gas. But since Tesla doesn't make an adaptor for L14-30's, does anyone have experience with any third-party adaptors? L14-30 is typically only used on generators.

Obviously, using this truck to charge my Tesla as a primary source isn't economical, but if the power ever goes out, this would be a good backup option.

Hopefully, you are only talking about emergencies. Otherwise what a dreadful way to charge a car.

lol like I said, it would never be a primary source of charging.

Do you have any experience with that adapter?

EVSEadapters makes good stuff. It will work as intended.

I have several of their things. Everything from EVSEAdapters is great. They are kind of the defacto 2nd source for anything you can't get from Tesla.

I made one of those adapters (and about a dozen others) myself relatively inexpensively. That said, you will likely have an issue with that method since Tesla requires a good earth ground.
