What is the adapter needed to connect the included charging cable to the 240v connector in the bed?

[thorndike]

Since we are now a two EV family, I wanted to take advantage of the 240v connector in the bed to be able to charger our Ioniq 5 in case of an emergency. I just learned about this capability tonight and wanted to know about the connector needed to connect the charging cable to the outlet. Is this a standard, readily available connector, or do I have to build it? Thanks!

I *believe* this is the adapter that Ford itself provided with some of the earliest Lightnings:

Thank you very much!

Wondering what happens if you plug in something that uses the full 50 amps into one of these while connected to the truck. I assume the Ford EVSE works fine since it is rated for 30 amps.

Probably not. The Ford mobile power cord draws 32a continuous at 240v and would need a 40a breaker minimum, Ford recommends 50a breaker as it uses a 50a plug.

Better off using something below 30a, many adjustable evse on the market now.

My truck which was delivered on 10/2/23 came with this adapter.

The interesting tidbit I have about this particular adapter is that I bought it twice. And both times they sent me the wrong adapter. I won't buy from them again. Probably just my experience, but wanted to share.

Interesting!

I didn't get one in late 2022.

Maybe me and the thread starter are the outliers, but I didn't think they were still giving these out!

Mine was a dealer demo, June '22 build and I purchased in Feb '23. Did not have any adapter either.

I didn't get one with my late-August, 2022 delivery, either

The 240V receptacle / outlet is L14-30P.

That Parkworld is the adapter Ford provided, along with a J1772 to Tesla adapter with a very few early Lightning deliveries. Personally, I'd always use a dogbone style adapter to reduce stress on the bed receptacle. A locking plug reduces the need, but the stress still goes to the receptacle when plugging and unplugging and moving the EVSE plugged into the L14-50.

Didn't get one with my Pro I purchased in May either
