Tesla’s Cybertruck will be the company’s first vehicle to feature vehicle-to-load, or bidirectional charging. That allows customers to charge equipment, another EV, or even power their whole home from their Cybertruck.
Tesla announced a new “Powershare” vehicle-to-load charging capability, only available on the new Cybertruck. The feature will allow Cybertruck owners to power their camping equipment, power tools, or even their entire home during a blackout, just by using their electric truck as a mobile generator. The truck also features a 240-volt outlet in the rear bed that can be used to charge other EVs. An image on Tesla’s website shows the Cybertruck charging a Model Y.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk seemed to pour cold water on the idea earlier this year, complaining that most people wouldn’t want bidirectional charging because all their lights would go out when they unplugged their car.
