A theory that has crossed my mind; Say you are dark camping with a solar/battery system that meets your demand most times, but you get a few days of cloud/rain and run short of power. Could the E-TV be set up to charge the camper, then go to town for recharge? I could see this working even better if the rig was MH/E-toad.
Not just theory. F150 Lightning is bandied to be able to power the house for 2 to 3 days.
The discussion is that on-board generators for RV or truck campers are no longer necessary as it can be supplied from the truck.
So and RV power needs is much lower and thus can get supplied longer.
Nice marketing tool, but what does "If you opt for the bi-directional 80-amp Ford Charge Station Pro, plus a home management system and an inverter needed to connect to your home, the F-150 Lightning will be able to output 9.6 kw of power through an Intelligent Backup Power function—enough to power the lights and appliances for days"
cost?
And then you take your gas powered car/truck to the store/work etc during the days long power outage?
Handy? maybe in limited instances. But the $400 I paid for a 7kw generator 11 years ago does a great job when the power goes out. No bi-directional 80-amp Ford Charge Station Pro, plus a home management system and an inverter needed.
