I Put EverDrive & Bluetti Battery System Through Their EREV Paces!

In this episode of the Ultimate F150 Lightning Build Series, I put my money where my mouth is and range-tested my jimmy-rigged EREV system using EverDrive's auxiliary charge-while-U-drive port and almost 16kWh of an in-parallel set of Bluetti Apex300 and B500K battery expansion packs. If I could sum up the experience in one sentence, it would be, "Well, that didn't go as expected!" CHECK OUT THE ENTIRE BUILD BELOW!
