Texas found out the hard way that the electric grid can be brought to its knees temporarily by extreme weather conditions. You can normally rely on the stability of core infrastructure, but wild situations can come out of left field and wreak havoc.
In situations where the unexpected happens, it’s vital to have a plan in place to mitigate the damage. F-250 owners in Texas rose to the occasion and fueled their powerless homes using the abilities of their truck, helping them stave off the cold and keep their families safe during the worst of things.
You can power your home using the all-new Ford F-150 Lightning.
This isn’t just something that can be made to work. It’s something that was made for this purpose. Built tougher than even ice storms and power outages, the electric F-150 will have the fortitude and battery capacity to outlast the worst of it.
The change from ICE to electric trucks might seem intimidating at first, but it’s becoming more and more apparent that electric vehicles have what it takes to get the job done just as well as gas-powered vehicles. The range capabilities of EVs are steadily rising well beyond the 300-mile requirement most consumers indicate as the minimum acceptable amount.
In fact, Ford ran their range tests with a full payload, so the likelihood of the Ford F-150 Lightning having a more extensive range than the current numbers suggest is pretty high, which is unlike most range predictions thrown out by marketers.
The F-150 Lightning in Edmond isn’t meant to be a second or third vehicle used on occasion. It’s built from the tires up to be your go-to for work and leisure. It’s built tough just like the classic F-150, and much like the ultra-successful new Mach E Mustang, it feels like a vehicle first and an electric vehicle second.
