Can an electric car jump start a regular car?

However, there is one thing you could do that comes close: Attach a cigarette lighter jump start cable and let the electric car trickle charge the battery of the gasoline car, with the gasoline car turned completely off. After several minutes, disconnect the cable and crank the engine of the gasoline car. read more

You can jump-start a gas car from the 12-volt battery (and if the Leaf’s 12-volt battery ever dies, you can actually “jump-start” a Leaf from a gas car, although all you’re really doing is providing power to boot up the car’s computer). read more

Start the engine of the car doing the jump-start, and then turn the EV to “ON.” Once the vehicle is operating again, disconnect the jumper cables but keep it switched on for at least 20 minutes so the vehicle’s electrical system can charge the dead electric car battery enough to be useful once again. read more
