EV Backup for Home with Solar Integration

[TheDirtyDude]

Implimenting a way to use the vehicle's Battery and possible the Range Extender as a generator for the battery to power a home as backup power would be a helpful feature. The F150 Lightning and Ionic 5N both were able to do this during a storm that knocked out power in my neighborhood & the F150 really helped my neighbor on Oxygen with mobility issues.

With more homes considering or implimenting solar, being able to plug solar into the Scout would also be helpful.
Having an external connector to connect say a solar panel truck bed cover, a roof camper, or even a say a solar gazibo would allow for some additional charging and ease people into solar while reducing their range anxiety.

Most of this has been discussed and some things answered. If you use search button and keyword “backup” and/or “generator” you’ll find quite a bit of info and discussions

I've been happy with using the 240 V, 30 Amp output from the Lightning's power outlets in the bed to charge the whole home battery on my solar system. This frees my truck from having to be connected to the house when the grid goes down and I can go find a DCFC if necessary while the grid is still down.
