May 1, 2022 – One of the most interesting features of the all-electric F-150 Lightning pickup is its ability to be used as backup power for your home.
For starters, you’ll need the Ford Charge Station Pro, which is a Level 2 home charging station that can charge the Lightning in eight hours. The Ford Charge Station Pro comes as-standard with the extended range F-150 Lightning but standard range customers will have to dish out an additional $1,310.
Next, you’ll need the Home Integration System, which consists of an inverter, transfer switch, and a battery that runs the system in the event of a power outage. The Home Integration System will switch your home power from the utility line to the Ford Intelligent Backup Power system in the F-150 Lightning. The Home Integration System will cost an additional $3,895.
