The Electric Future of Ford

As we eagerly await the arrival of the all-new, all-electric Ford F-150 Lightning™, Ford is busy planning ways for you to get even more out of your new Ford vehicle. Partnering with SunRun, America's leading solar company, Ford will offer Ford Intelligent Backup Power to power your home using your new Ford truck! As Ford moves toward an electrified future, including the all-electric Ford Mach-E, hybrid-first Ford Maverick truck, new Ford F-150 hybrid and more, get ready for innovative ways to use the electric power in your new Ford.

SunRun and Ford Electric
The all-electric new 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning™ not only creates zero emissions but also offers considerable onboard battery power. Ford and SunRun plan to harness that power to enable you to light and heat/cool your home in the event of a power outage. Available Ford Intelligent Backup Power in the all-electric Ford F-150 Lightning™ can power a home for up to three days on a fully charged battery. Ration your battery use to keep the lights on for up to 10 days. SunRun will install the 80-amp Ford Charge Station Pro and Home Integration System, which enables you to store power in your new F-150 Lightning™.

New Ford Intelligent Backup Power and the F-150 Lightning™ extended-range battery system use bidirectional power technology to send power out of the electric Ford truck and into your home - or a job site, campsite, anywhere you need a bit of light or power! SunRun will help Ford owners equip their homes with the 80-amp Ford Charge Station Pro and Home Integration System in order to take advantage of this innovative new technology. Ford owners who install this system can also pair it with solar power installation from SunRun at a reduced rate!

Future plans include technology that will optimize recharge times and cost. Your electric Ford will recharge during lower electricity rate cost times, and you can power your house with your new electric Ford when electricity rates are higher. Optimizing your electric use and EV charging not only saves you money but reduces the load on America's electric grid while being more friendly to the planet.

More innovative features in the first-ever all-electric Ford F-150 Lightning™ include:

  • Over-the-air software updates
  • 9.6 kW max onboard power through 11 outlets
  • Upcoming Ford BlueCruise hands-free driver-assist tech

All-Electric 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning™: Built Ford Tough
