The Multinational Ford and Sunrun Close Partnership to Bring V2H Technology, Which Promises to Power the Electric F-150 Lightning at Users’ Homes

The multinational Ford has closed a new partnership in the automotive sector with Sunrun to bring V2H (Vehicle-to-Home) technology to consumers of its new electric pickup truck. Ford’s lineup of pickups will gain a new member: the F-150 Lightning. The F series of trucks has been the favorite among Americans for 44 consecutive years and will have its first electric version, with one detail: the highest torque of all trucks in the family. The electric F-150 will be offered in three models: XLT, Lariat, and Platinum.

The V2H connection is made possible with the Ford Charge Station Pro of 80A, which is used in the long-range version of the pickup. The F-150 Lightning can power about 9.6 kilowatts of energy through the larger lower ports on the CCS plug and feed back into the house’s power panel. When power is restored to the grid, the charging station will reverse to recharge the Lightning’s battery. According to the multinational, the new technology has the capacity to power a home during a power outage for about 3 days.

This is an estimate and assumes that consumers take more reasonable steps to reduce electricity usage until their service is restored. For example, to reduce energy use without heating their hot tubs.

Sunrun’s Words on the New Automotive Technology

In a statement to the press, Sunrun states that, through this partnership, consumers will have the chance to install a solar energy system, allowing them to provide sustainable energy and charge their pickups using solar power.

Sunrun CEO Lynn Jurich added that Ford is a very trusted brand that has been in the automotive sector for over 100 years, and it is exciting for Sunrun to see them “powering” the most popular pickup in their history. “We are in the early stages of a partnership that can benefit many people worldwide.”

Currently, Ford is at the forefront of technologies that pave the way for the automotive sector, featuring electric, smart, autonomous, and connected vehicles. There have been numerous investments, research, and technologies created for the multinational to reach such a level. Dreams that started over 100 years ago by businessman Henry Ford, the founder of the multinational.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

A new 3D printing technology promises to give robots muscles similar to humans.

China pours concrete for 60 hours non-stop to form the largest caisson in the world on a highway bridge over the Yangtze and prepare the base that will support a 1,600-meter span over one of the most important rivers on the planet.

While thieves looted almost all the neighboring tombs over 2,600 years, an Etruscan chamber in Italy remained sealed and untouched all this time, and archaeologists have just opened it to find more than a hundred objects in the exact place where they were left.

Black Hawk helicopter carries 24 basalt rocks weighing up to 2 tons through narrow Australian valleys to rebuild a 100-year-old dam, after floods destroyed the structure and forced engineers to transform the aircraft into a flying crane.

At 30 km altitude and nearly 7,000 km/h, the 14-X demonstrator of the Brazilian Air Force tested a scramjet engine without moving parts in Alcântara, in a project with the ambitious goal of reaching Mach 10, which has just received a historic investment of R$ 93 million from Finep.
