Stumbled across this article:
https://www.motortrend.com/features/how-to-flat-tow-recharge-electric-vehicles/

which had an interesting comment:
"...the Rivian R1T and R1S, Lucid Air, and Ford F-150 Lightning all offer 
bi-directional charging and a cord with a CCS Combo 1 charging plug on both 
ends."

Cool!  First I've ever heard of this.

Just curious how this would work.  Obviously the donor vehicle would have to 
provide the appropriate CCS communications to convince the recipient to engage 
it's HV contactors.

Would this charge be controlled in any way, or do they just connect both 
batteries together and hope none of the magic smoke leaks out?

Without having a massive DC-DC converter in between, I'd guess the charge would 
basically stop when the batteries in both vehicles reach roughly the same SOC.
