Pacific Gas & Electric Co. (PG&E) and Ford have announced a collaboration to explore how the F-150 Lightning electric vehicle (EV), a light-duty truck with bidirectional charging technology, can interact with the electric grid to provide backup power for customers’ homes in PG&E’s service area.
Ford’s Intelligent Backup Power gives customers the ability to use bidirectional power technology from the truck to provide up to 10 days of power to their homes during an outage.
One in five EVs in the U.S. are on the road in PG&E’s service area of northern and central California.
