Charging

Ford has announced its preferred installer for charging systems for its F-150 Lightning pickup truck. Sunrun will install the 80-amp Ford Charge Station Pro and Home Integration System. Together those systems allow the F-150 Lightning to store power and supply that power back to homes in the event of a power outage.

One of the biggest hurdles facing adoption of electric vehicles – besides driving range – is the relative lack of charging locations. Sure, there are dedicated charging spots in most parking garages and some commercial properties, but given the fact that you need to seek these out and compete with others for the chargers is an inconvenience.
