I assume that jump starting an EV takes a lot less current than jump starting an ICE due to no need to crank an engine. I'd guess it just needs enough to power the control electronics and close the solenoids to the traction battery?
That raises an interesting question: is the power requirement low enough that you could make a hand cranked EV jump starter?
