Ford's $30K Fathom EV Truck Promises Cheaper Backup Power
Original: Ford Says Its New $30K Fathom EV Truck Will Make Bidirectional Backup Power Cheaper
Ford announced the Fathom, a roughly $30,000 electric pickup it says will make bidirectional charging more affordable, letting owners use the truck's battery to back up their home during outages. Vehicle-to-home power has so far been mostly limited to pricier EVs, so a sub-$30K truck with the capability would broaden access to home energy backup.
Why now: Ford's promise of bidirectional backup power in an affordable EV is a notable development in electric trucks and home energy.
