Ford Fathom will be the cheapest American EV capable of powering a house

Ford is introducing two new EV chargers that can power a home or the grid, which will be available with the Fathom pickup truck, starting at $28,350. The chargers, called Home Power Station and Home Backup Power, are expected to be half the cost of Ford's existing equivalent products. The Home Power Station can help customers reduce their utility bills by charging the Fathom during low-power hours and sending electricity back to the home during high-power hours, while the Home Backup Power package can power parts or all of a home during a power outage. The prices for the chargers do not include installation, which can cost up to $10,000.
