Howard County couple first in nation to use electric Ford truck to power home

Brian Foreman’s Ford F-150 isn’t your average pickup truck. It’s more like a personal power plant. “One of the reasons we bought it was because we don’t have a backup generator for our house and we live in an area with a lot of exposed powerlines. So, we are always worried whenever a storm comes through and the trees start swinging that we are going to lose power,” Foreman told 11 News. “When we saw that this truck was available, the electric vehicle, and could power your house in case of a backup, we knew we were all in.”
