Ford announces cheaper bidirectional chargers for Fathom EV pickup, enabling home backup power and VPP participation
Ford announced two bidirectional EV chargers, the Home Power Station (about $650) and Home Backup Power (about $2,100), for its forthcoming Fathom pickup, which starts at $28,350. The chargers cost roughly 50-60% less than Ford's first-generation products. They let the truck supply "over 10 kW" to a home during an outage or shift power use to cheaper rates. Both chargers also support participation in virtual power plants (VPPs). The article is product and industry news with no security incident, vulnerability or threat activity, so it has no direct defender impact.
