Charging a Scout with a Scout

[04Ram2500Hemi]

So this was something that literally came to me in a dream last night. The idea was charging a Scout (or other EV) with another Scout. There’s been talk about EV’s running houses when there’s no power. But what about using one EV to charge another? Imagine a Scout is down to 5% battery, and there’s no way it will make it to the next charging station. Would it be possible for another Scout (say a Harvester) to plug into the Scout and get it up to 10% or 15% to make it to the next charging station?

I think that Scout should make this available.

V2V / V2L bidirectional charging is available from other manufacturers.

AI info..Accuracy unknown?

Vehicles with EV to EV Charging Capabilities
Ford F-150 Lightning (V2G, V2H, V2V)
Genesis GV60 (V2L)
Hyundai Ioniq 5 (V2L)
Hyundai Ioniq 6 (V2L)
Kia EV6 (V2L)
Kia Niro (V2L)
Lucid Air (V2V)
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (V2L);
Nissan Leaf (V2H, V2G)
Tesla Cybertruck (V2L)
VW ID.4 (V2H)
Tesla Cybertruck offers vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging through its Powershare feature.
Powershare also allows for vehicle-to-load (V2L) and vehicle-to-home (V2H) charging.

Future?
Rivian V2V
Ram 1500 Ramcharger V2L

You’re train of thought is similar to a thread I made in the suggestion section.

Thread 'Dual Port Charging'

Jan 13, 2025

Came across an article in regards to a GM design that would allow for charging another EV while plugged in. Essentially the vehicle would have two charge ports. One charging the main vehicle and the. Another acting as a vehicle to load port.

It’s an interesting idea and perhaps expand on it a bit and add both a NACS and CCS plugs to the first generation? There will still be a lot of CCS charges in the wild and this would allow charging without having to bring an adapter for CCS chargers… just a thought. Allow both ports to either receive a charge or supply charge to another device...

Better for fleet use and/or an owner of multiple EV's

I’d also like to see this offered as long as it doesn’t push the base price up. I guess I’m hoping they’ve already baked this into the original design and pricing.

I missed your thread, but it’s definitely on the same idea. I just remember waking up at 2am and wondering if you could charge one EV with another? It’s just something that kind of made sense to me, but at the same time I’m not an engineer, and not sure how this would work?
