Ford F-150 Lightning Can Keep the Lights On When Your Power Goes Out
The electric F-150 will be able to double as a home power station when it's not doing truck things.

This article brings up a lot of unanswered questions:
1. I would love to be able to get the base model at 40k and add the 80 amp charge station pro as an option. It would be nice to know if this will be possible and how much it will cost or does one just have to order the extended range battery for another $10,000 to get this standard with those models.
2. Also, and maybe just as important, from the above article it looks one will need a 100-amp circuit. Apparently we would also need a transfer switch to backfill our home’s power supply. “Ford will partner with Sunrun to help with the installation”. anybody have any ideas re the cost of this question?
I would love to get the capability to use this truck as a back up generator but the added costs on top of the base model may make a separate home generator a better financial decision.
