FORD’S HOME INTEGRATION SYSTEM IS STILL BROKEN!

EV Channels Review

The reviewer details ongoing frustrations with Ford's Home Integration System in their F-150 Lightning Lariat, despite a recent software update. While the truck itself is praised as reliable and capable for general truck duties, including towing and using the Pro Power system, the Home Integration System, which is meant to automatically power the house during outages, has functioned correctly "approximately zero times" since its installation. Even after the latest OTA update, which was intended to fix charging station disconnections, the system remains unreliable, requiring manual coaxing and often failing. Engineers from Ford and Sunrun are reportedly stumped, with no clear indication of whether the truck or the charging station is at fault. The reviewer strongly advises against the Home Integration System due to its unreliability and unsuitability for purpose, suggesting that if it's not fixed soon, they may opt for its complete removal and a refund. Despite this major flaw, the reviewer reiterates their overall satisfaction with the F-150 Lightning as a vehicle.
