I am too lazy to do napkin math on this, but the article implies it can run a home with AC for days.
> Ford says the Lightning can fully power an average home for roughly three days. “That’s a house like my house with AC, Xbox, kids going crazy leaving lights on everywhere,” Linda Zhang, chief engineer of the F-150 Lightning, tells Bloomberg Green. With more frugal use, the Lightning could keep a home running for up to 10 days, she says.
