Ford expands F-150 home backup power solution as automakers bet on vehicle-to-home energy
Ford expanded its F-150 home backup power solution, enabling drivers of certain models to connect their vehicles directly to their home electric meters during outages. This initiative reflects a broader trend among automakers to diversify revenue streams amid declining electric vehicle sales by leveraging their electrification technologies for home energy solutions. The new setup allows homeowners to use their F-150 PowerBoost hybrid and F-150 Lightning electric trucks to power essential devices, enhancing grid resiliency.
