Ford's sub-$30,000 Fathom EV truck gets built-in home backup inverter

Ford's upcoming Fathom, a sub-$30,000 electric pickup, will pack a bidirectional inverter inside its onboard 'E-box', supplying over 10 kW of AC power directly. Unlike the discontinued F-150 Lightning, which needed a costly external wall inverter, the Fathom aims to make vehicle-to-home backup power simpler and cheaper. Its official reveal is a few months away.
