Original: Ford's Fathom electric pickup will have a home backup inverter inside the vehicle. It will also be priced 28,000 at MSRP
Ford's upcoming Fathom electric pickup is reported to start at an MSRP of around $28,000 and will include a built-in home backup inverter, allowing the truck to power a house during outages. Commenters say the low price and vehicle-to-home capability could mark a 'Model T moment' for Ford, making electric trucks affordable for mainstream buyers if the claims hold.
Why now: An affordable electric pickup that can also back up a home would be a major shift in the EV market, drawing wide attention.
