The Tesla Cybertruck will use two-way charging technology

Tesla’s senior vice president of energy engineering confirmed today that Tesla’s future vehicles will use a bidirectional charging system. Now Tesla customers want to know which Tesla model will be the first to use this technology. An interesting point is that in one of the Tesla manuals in its service centers, the Cybertruck car is mentioned.

This technology refers to the possibility of charging an electric car by another electric car, and it means that the Cybertruck will probably support the charging of other Tesla cars. A video posted on Twitter also shows that the production version of the Cybertruck will have a 120- or 240-volt socket, which will allow users to charge another electric vehicle.

Currently, competing electric vehicles such as the Ford F-150 Lightning support bi-directional charging. The car has standard 120V sockets and an optional 240V socket that offers charging rates of up to 9.6kW. Considering the size of Cybertruck’s battery, we can expect a capacity of 100 kWh for its battery.

In 2021, Elon Musk answered a Twitter user’s question about whether Cybertruck’s battery would be able to supply electricity to their home or not, and this confirms to some extent the possibility of Cybertruck supporting bidirectional charging.
