6 days agoInside Ford's vision to turn your EV into a personal power plant
Ford's F-150 Lightning uses bidirectional charging to power homes, return energy to the grid, lower bills, and expand a Home Power Management pilot.
Even more worrying is how much less reliable the grid has become. The US has had 64% more large grid failures in the last ten years. Most of these outages were caused by extreme weather events related to climate change, such as hurricanes, wildfires, and heat waves. Because of this unpredictability, there is a strong need for clean, independent, and stable energy solutions, especially ones that can store and manage solar electricity in case the grid goes down.
