I haven’t personally done this, but I’m more referring to the new tech that Ford is putting out for its f150 lightning (given the article was referring to new cars, I figured that’s fair game). You can use the truck as a battery back up for your home, since it’s an EV you don’t have to worry about idle and alternators.
It wouldn’t be able to do a big house’s heating, but a small efficient heat pump would likely be fine.
Quick edit: I’m an idiot, the onboard controller in the truck automatically switches.
The f150 lightning doesn’t have to be on to provide power, it comes from the bed of the truck at all times, no breathalyzer would be needed for that scenario.
Saw the edit, not an idiot at all, I only happened to have watched a YouTube on it when it came out, otherwise I wouldn’t have known it even had a plug back there.
Wait, your alternator can’t make enough power at idle to power a whole furnace… did you actually do that?

I didn’t even realize the F-150 was electric. Or is there just an electric variant?
It’s specifically the f-150 lightning
