Why it matters for readers: If you’re interested in EVs, it means a future pickup may power your house more affordably without extra hardware.

  • The Fathom will be the first US‑maker EV under $30,000 that can supply over 10 kW AC to a home without a separate wall inverter.1
  • Ford integrated the inverter into the truck’s E-box on its Universal EV Platform after acquiring Auto Motive Power in 2023.1
  • Embedding the inverter reduces parts and Ford says those savings will extend to home charging and backup equipment costs.1
  • Fathom owners will have multiple ways to use the truck battery for home power, via Ford’s Home Power Station and Home Backup Panel plans.1
