March 26, 2022 – The upcoming F-150 Lightning and its Intelligent Backup Power capability will allow owners to keep the lights on at home should there be an electric-power interruption.
Plugging a Lightning into your home requires the 19.2-kW Ford Charge Station Pro, which comes standard on extended-range models and costs extra on base models. Depending on how much electricity you use, even the Lightning’s standard-range battery could power your house for about three days.
The Home Integration System takes the high-current DC from the Charge Station Pro and converts it into usable AC power. It connects between your utility power meter and your main power panel and disconnects your house from the power grid whenever it’s in use.
