Ford’s sub-$30,000 Fathom pickup to put a home backup inverter inside the truck

The Verge reports that Ford’s upcoming Fathom pickup will use a built-in inverter to turn its battery power into household electricity, avoiding the external wall inverter required by the F-150 Lightning. TechCrunch reports Ford announced two charging options that would let the truck send power to a home or the grid. Ford says the Fathom will start at $28,350; the charging hardware’s proposed prices do not include installation.
