The Ford Vehicle Connector links Ford F-150 Lightning and PowerBoost Hybrid trucks’ 240-volt outlets with GPP’s GenerLink transfer switch. It can deliver power to home outlets and hardwired appliances like well and sump pumps, security systems, gas furnaces and lighting that can’t be powered with generator extension cords, Ford and GPP say.
Nic Saeger, CEO of Global Power Products, told Utility Dive that the product greatly simplifies and reduces the cost of home backup for rural utility customers, who typically face longer outages and have more critical hardwired appliances, like well and sump pumps. Rural customers in most of the U.S. experience longer and more frequent power outages, according to an analysis of Poweroutage.us data.
