After powering a house for 44 hours without interruption, 65% of a pickup truck’s charge remains. Refrigerator, freezer, TV and Wi-Fi router connected to electric vehicle
In Canada, a strong winter storm passed on Christmas Day and many homes lost electricity because of it. The owner of the Ford F-150 Lightning used his electric pickup truck to power all the necessary equipment for two days in a row. This is reported on electrek.co site.
A Canadian resident said that the Ford F-150 Lightning still has a lot of charge left, even though his whole house is powered by batteries. The control panel showed a 65% charge.
“We’re not here to make an electric truck for a few people – Ford is committed to building a truck that solves real problems for real people,” said Kumar Galhotra, President of Ford Blue.
In a Ford F-150 Lightning with smart backup power, bidirectional charging can power the equipment for three to ten days, Ford said. This was also evidenced by a Canadian resident who fed his entire house with an electric pickup truck for 44 hours. It ran two electrical outlets with splitters to power refrigerators, freezers, a Wi-Fi router, some lights, and a TV.
