I am 99% sure the answer is no. They are not using the truck to power the house/powerwall. Kevin22 has the 48 amp ford connected charger. You can see it on ford's website. It is not capable of sending power back to the house. It only has a J1772 plug.Also, what charger is in the picture that Kevin 22 posted?
OK, thanks for the info!!
Supposedly the powerwall 3 has bidirectional ability so I am trying to figure out if I can use that instead of the HIS from Ford/Sunrun and that would also give you a little extra back up power from the powerwall. Having this ability in basically one unit makes more sense.
In my opinion this proprietary communication between the truck and the HIS is a major drawback to the whole F150L-to-house setup. Ford could increase the value of the truck as a battery backup if this communication used an open-source protocol.Actually it is the communication between the truck and the inverter which is proprietary to the HIS system. With out this communication the truck will not open up the dc contactor to supply current. The Tesla power wall does not have the ability to communicate with the truck and turn on the dc contactor
I’ve mentioned this in other threads, but I think it bears repeating. I think the reason for locking down the battery access goes back to the federally-mandated 8 year/ 100,000 mile battery warranty. Someone using V2G for power rate arbitrage could fully cycle the battery every day, causing it to no longer meet the warranty conditions in 3-5 years.In my opinion this proprietary communication between the truck and the HIS is a major drawback to the whole F150L-to-house setup.

I agree with this, but you can cause similar battery cycling by using the onboard inverters and Pro Power, although it would involve more manual steps.I’ve mentioned this in other threads, but I think it bears repeating.

You couldn’t do a full ER cycle in 24 hours at 7.2 KW. And it would be very difficult to load it to exactly 7.2 KW continuously.I agree with this, but you can cause similar battery cycling by using the onboard inverters and Pro Power, although it would involve more manual steps.
