Here in the Michigan, extreme weather is just a fact of life. From snow squalls in the winter to sweltering heat and sudden thunderstorms in the summer, Mother Nature throws quite a few curveballs here in the north country. However, while you may be well-prepared for adverse weather, everyone's liable to have a few power outages at home a few times a year. Luckily, Ford has the answer for just such occasions with its new Ford F-150 Lightning and its Intelligent Backup Power system.
Now, the new Ford F-150 Lightning is an exceptional pickup truck for any number of different reasons. It's one of the Ford Brand's first forays in to the EV market, and it's been impressing drivers coast to coast since its debut. However, while it's impressive in motion, it's just as exceptional at a standstill thanks to its Ford Intelligent Backup System.
With this innovative technology, you can convert your daily driving pickup truck into a portable generator to supply power to your house. In fact, at a full charge the new Ford F-150 Lightning can power the average Michigan home for anywhere from three to ten days depending upon how power is rationed.
Best of all, it couldn't be simpler to take advantage of this technology. All you need to do is have the Ford Charge Station Pro installed at your home, which wires easily into most home electrical fuse boxes. After it's installed, you can plug your Ford F-150 Lightning into the charging station and use its infotainment screen to have it route power from the vehicle to your house, sparing you from needing a noisy and costly gas generator in the event of a power outage.
