In a recent publication [W. Dou, G. Miao, and J. E. Subotnik, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{119}, 046001 (2017)], using the quantum-classical Liouville equation (QCLE), we derived a very general form for the electronic friction felt by a molecule moving near one or many metal surfaces. Moreover, we have already proved the equivalence of the QCLE electronic friction with the Head-Gordon--Tully model as well as a generalized version of von Oppen's nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method \textit{at equilibrium} [W. Dou and J. E. Subotnik, Phys. Rev. B \textbf{96}, 104305 (2017)]. In the present paper, we now further prove the equivalence between the QCLE friction and the NEGF friction for the case of multiple metal surfaces and an out-of-equilibrium electronic current. The present results conclude our recent claim that there is only one \textit{universal} electronic friction tensor arising from the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.
