Ford’s Upcoming $30,000 EV Truck to Slash Home Backup Hardware Costs

Ford plans to make vehicle-to-home power far more accessible on its next-generation affordable electric truck by building an AC inverter directly into the vehicle. Unlike the F-150 Lightning, which requires thousands of dollars in proprietary wall-mounted power equipment, the new pickup will export alternating current straight from the truck. This streamlined architecture promises to drastically lower the total installation cost for owners seeking emergency home backup power.
