Overview
- The program lets F-150 Lightning owners power their homes during high-price periods and, in select markets, export energy to the grid for compensation.
- Summer 2025 trials with Baltimore Gas & Electric paid participants up to $1,000 for power supplied between July and September.
- Ford estimates typical users can cut electric bills by roughly $42 per month by shifting charging and using stored energy during peak rates.
- Participation requires a bi-directional Ford Charge Station Pro and Sunrun’s Home Integration System inverter, with several-thousand-dollar hardware and installation costs.
- Active pilots involve utilities including DTE Energy, SMUD, Eversource, TXU Energy, and Xcel Energy, coordinated through the Ford-BMW-Honda ChargeScape platform.
