Just saw the old news today that Sunrun will be installing 80 amp bi-directional charging stations for the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning EV
Sunrun To Install 80-amp Charge Station For All-Electric Ford F-150 Lightning
Any thoughts out there on being able to integrate this into an existing 12 kW solar & PW system? I have one PW, waiting 14 months now for my second PW. Apparently, the F-150 would be the equivalent of 6+ PWs. I would guess this also goes into the Ford Mustang Mach-E in 2022. I'm assuming this will push Tesla to match this feature sooner than later.

Ford details F-150 Lightning
"But a second Level 2 charger, called Ford Charge Station Pro and working at 80 amps, charges the standard battery in the same 10 hours, but reduces extended-batter charging time to eight hours instead of 14 hours. The Pro charge station also offers another compelling feature: it is the central piece in the F-150 Lightning’s bi-directional charging capability Ford dubs Intelligent Backup Power. With this setup, the F-150 Lightning can supply as much as 9.6 kW of power back to the home in the event of residential power failure. The capability for bi-directional charging was envisioned when the SAE International standard for the widely-used Combined Charging System (CCS) charging-cord connector was developed; Ford added that certain other modifications to the home electrical system are required to enable Intelligent Backup Power. A fully charged pickup could supply a typical home’s daily usage of about 30 kWh for up to three days."
