Ford, PG&E Testing F-150 Lightning as Vehicle-to-Grid Power Source for Homes

"The companies will test the ability of Ford’s new F-150 Lightning electric vehicle to send power flowing back to a house and connect with the grid, Ford Chief Executive Officer Jim Farley and PG&E Chief Executive Officer Patti Poppe said during an event Thursday night at the CERAWeek by S&P Global energy conference in Houston.

Ford’s battery-powered F-150 is the first of its kind that can be used as a backup power source. PG&E will test five trucks this year, Poppe said in an interview."

This is great news!

connecting to the grid is a whole new concept, I think this puts it more in line with a mobile powerwall

So there’s the answer for the next time someone claims that we’ll never be able to generate all of our electricity from renewables due to intermittency concerns. Thank you Ford, good job!
