$7500 is still on the books for all makers except Tesla and GM because they maxed out the 200,000 vehicle limit.

Ford Pro Power Onboard wins the 2021 Autoblog Technology of the Year Award

"If you have the top-of-the-line 7.2-kilowatt system available on the F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid, the capabilities are mind-boggling. You can plug in a 120V plasma cutter, 120V TiG welder, chop saw, 1.5-horsepower air compressor, angle grinder and work light. All at the same time. Plus, you can run the system at full tilt for up to 32 hours straight, assuming you have a full tank of gas in your F-150 PowerBoost."

"Ford’s F-150 Lightning will be equipped with an even more advanced version of Pro Power Onboard that brings power up to 9.6 kW. Plus, you’ll be able to power your home even more easily using Ford’s Intelligent Backup Power capability that, when wired into your home’s electrical system, will allow your home to simply run off the F-150 Lightning’s battery. Ford suggests that the power inside a fully-charged Lightning’s battery (the long-range model) would be enough to power an “average house” for about three days, or 10 days if rationed"

Power a worksite anywhere and run my home for up to 10 days? Yes please. Too bad the waitlist is approaching half a decade but I'm sure we'll see similar systems from other manufacturers soon.

Ford dealership a source of price inflation concerns for F-150 Lightning reservation holders.

How do you find out how many of the $7500 rebates are left or if you ordered in time. Lightning preorders are at 200,000 and the Mustang Mach-E have 40,000 preorders.

Took a trip a couple hundred miles west of me yesterday. Price of gas was 11% lower. Is it area or is price coming down?

You can wait,or....

Buy a new enclosed trailer, 5kw class Xantrex, batteries. Even paying a professional to wire it, just a minor fraction of the price.

Aside from perhaps "normal" covid delays, available now.....

Follow their USA sales numbers for now I guess.

Sounds like the start of a heavy duty EV truck with 8 ft bed.

Thanks for the link. It sounds like MB plan to get ahead of Tesla specs. I expect in the world of EVs the large and heavy cars are history. Miles per kWh may become the tail that wags the dog. The pricing will be interesting to learn.
