Boy, have things changed.
It was only a few years ago that homeowners thought they’d be able to use extension cords to power their early model electric cars. But now, it looks like cars and trucks are going to be the ones powering homes.
Word is coming from Babcock Ranch that Pulte Homes was able to power a 3,654-square-foot home in the community using a Ford F150 Lightning all-electric truck. The homebuilder, at a recent community event held at the solar-powered community, used the Ford truck’s onboard Intelligent Backup Power feature to provide power to the two-story, five-bedroom home. The house was built with Ford+Sunrun’s home integration system and the automaker’s Charge Station Pro technology.
