Bi-Directional Power possible on Extended Range only?

[CoyoteJim]

Ford Intelligent Backup Power can be used by “both standard- and extended- range F150 Lightning via the charge port when connected with the 80-amp Ford Charge Station Pro”

So, who's got a 320 or 400 amp panel in their house? I've got 150.

I'm all electric on 100A panel. Even charging an EV at night I don't think I've ever gone over 9KW in an hour. Efficiency pays except that the power company gives discounts to bigger users than me.

A quote from Linda Zhang caught my eye just now:

Why did she specify "with the extended range batteries"?

The official Lightning Tech Specs says the 80A bi-directional charging station is optional on the Standard Range trucks, so I had assumed that meant it would work bi-directionally, and not just be an over-sized single-direction charger for the Standard Range truck (that's limited to 48A anyway).

Has anyone at Ford ever *specifically* said that the Standard Range trucks will have bi-directional charging capabilities, too?

Maybe it's a misunderstanding because the 80A bi-directional charger is standard on the Extended Range trucks, but I'm going to be pretty disappointed if I can't have bi-directional charging on a Standard Range truck.

Thanks, yeah, that's been my assumption for a while. It's just weird that she would specify "extended range" in this quote. But perhaps it's just because it's *standard* on those.

I hope the Lightning product expert is right!
