Description: The Ford F-150 Lightning Pro is a better deal than a Tesla Powerwall! See all electric vehicles listed on AutoTempest: autotempest.com/results?fuel=electric&utm_source=engineeringexplained&utm_medium=youtube&utm_campaign=engineeringexplained2021&utm_content=wallbox Sponsored By AutoTempest: autotempest.com/?utm_source=engineeringexplained&utm_medium=youtube&utm_campaign=engineeringexplained%202021&utm_content=wallbox The Ford F-150 Lightning can serve as a backup energy source for powering your home, what Ford's calling "Ford Intelligent Backup Power." This means you can use the F-150's 98 kWh, or the extended battery pack's 131 kWh, to power the devices in your home when your local power utilities aren't working. It's a huge benefit of having an electric vehicle, and surprisingly, it's priced cheaper (per kWh) than a Tesla Powerwall. We'll analyze Ford's solution, Tesla solar, propane home generators, and devices like Wallbox that will eventually offer Vehicle-to-Home charging. Props to Ford for creating a very useful, clever solution to a real problem. If you could power your home with any EV, which would you choose?
