What I really hope is that the F150 has decent insurance prices through either volume or repair parts overlap with the ICE version.
Gotta admit that the concept of emergency power for the house makes it tempting. The Prince of Darkness (PG&E) makes such thinking a necessity in this day and age.
- maxerickson 5y agoA nice whole house generator is like $10k, which you can spend and also buy a nice electric vehicle that isn't an F-150. edit: the intended implication of the last sentence is that it costs a good chunk of money, not that it's a bad vehicle.
- PerkinWarwick 5y agoHave an upvote. From all accounts, the F150 EV looks like kind of a good deal in terms of electric cars. What the reality on the ground will be is a different matter. Personally, I have zero need for a car and a fair amount of need for a pickup. Truth is, it's hard to justify any new car, but then again that's always been true. For those in PSPS (public safety power shutoff) areas, due to both the reasonably predictable timing and duration, probably the best way to go is a combination of a larger portable inverter generator (in order to avoid the constant roaring) and an interlock to feed the house.
