Dependable

I purchased my Ford F150 New in 1998 and planned on keeping and driving it until I retired. I expected that my truck was built Ford Tough and would Last, What I did not expect was that my Motor Craft Battery would last until 2011, it still cranks over but it is time to replace it. I just called the dealer to make sure I got a Craftsman Battery to replace it. I hope the next battery is as good as this one was. By the way the truck is Running as strong as the Battery and does everything you would expect a Ford Truck to do.

Thanks,

Jim Kilduff

I've seen variations on this, but I would think that with the pure EV's like the Focus Electric, Ford could easily install a quick hookup plug to safely attach a 3000 watt inverter. Probably best going through the 12V system for safety, but allow the 23kw high volt battery supply it in a safe fashion. Then program a mode that shuts down all non-essential accessories ("external powering mode") to conserve battery. In times of emergency the 23kwh of electricity potentially stored in those batteries could be a lifesaver. Or at a minimum power a standard energy star fridge for a week or two. Ford could even offer different sized inverters depending on what the consumer needed for backup.
